    I only have one cactus so far. This thimble cactus is so tiny and adorable! It's tough to keep away from my young cat but maybe she'll leave it alone because it's sharp. I love how you talk about how to pair it with other plants that have similar requirements, this really helps!

    This is a fun little plant that I have had a lot of success with. It has found it's way in to many of my cactus pots. It easily propagates, is fairly hardy, and I love its little white flowers.

    To those mentioning they are scared of cacti, I'd say that the thimble cactus is really one to consider, as its spines are fairly soft. I know looks can be deceiving - I have an Agave Fillifera that looks like it has soft hairs, and right now I have a sore, swollen finger where one of those "hairs" grazed me. But I've had no such issues with the thimble cactus. And they are sooo cute!

      JOYCE LAUBACH And aren’t the spines on the thimble cactus turned sideways instead of straight out. It seems to me that I used to just use my bare hands with that one. With practice and passion cactus needles are nothing to be afraid of.

    I have a piece that I picked up off the ground at the store. I planted it in the cutest little tiny pot that Cassidy sent me. 😊 It is so adorable sitting on my desk by the window. I was worried that it didn't like it's new home, but now I see it's just dormant right now. Thanks so much, Cassidy - for the info and for the tiny pot!!

    So happy to finaly know what my little cactus is! I pillfered babies from a friends plant a few years ago, and he didn't know what it was. I love it. I have a group of six in a squat bonsai pot, that I"m going to let turn into a crowded colony and one sigle plant in a little thumb pot. Thanks for the video. I think I will have to subscribe. :)

    I've had one since I was a kid. This cactus survived everything. I once cut off all growths from the main plant (there was a lot) and put them in normal garden soil, sometimes didn't water them for up to a month, never repotted. They are still alive. The 'mother' flowers in spring. Her 'children' overrun the pot. I'm convinced it's impossible to kill this cactus.
