Your cactus grew fast from a seedling. I like you method of bracing the cutting. I have a an unusual apple cactus cutting with only 4 ribs. I will plant tomorrow, thanks,
You can water just enough so that the soil isn’t bone-dry. Depends on the weather as far as rooting. They tend to root faster when it’s hot. I’d expect roots within a month.
"When you get got, you know you got got." Lol Yeah, fuck opuntia thorns, I learned my lesson trying to grab what I thought was a bald pear bare handed. Never again.
Good question.. I'll have to look into that! Google just says their fruits are edible. I know they don't contain mescaline, but not sure about toxicity/edibility...
That is question! Mine is not mature enough to have bloomed. I’ve heard different things. Most succulents seem to need a period of drought before they will bloom. I’ll let you know if I run into any additional info on it!🙂
the cross section is so beautiful ..a star .

Love it. Let's persevere.
Thanks for the video! We just bought a baby one after seeing a full-grown one on a vacation! Excited to see what happens!
Exciting! They grow relatively quickly with the right care. 🙂
Great video, should I be watering after planting the cutting? And how long does it take for it to start to get roots.

Thanks a lot of this video and it really helps by giving me more idea of how to repotting my very tall cactus .
How does the mother plant heal? Does its top re-grow or do you depend on an offshoot? Thank-you for the video!
It will grow a branch or two below where it was cut.
Very nice
Beautiful cactus, thank you for this. As long as it’s calloused can it be planted straight into the ground? ❤🌵
Depending on your growing zone. I put it to the test, and 20 degrees pretty much toasted it. Waiting to see if it makes a come back

Haha! for sure! Got one in my thumb just below the nail and i've been watching it slowly grow out of my finger nail for the past 3 months!
Is the plant itself (not the fruit) edible?
Good question.. I'll have to look into that! Google just says their fruits are edible. I know they don't contain mescaline, but not sure about toxicity/edibility...
Pretty awesome
hi i live in ar, is it safe to plant them outside will they live through winter
Mine has survived mild freezes. I’ve brought it inside anytime we get a hard freeze
Hello how to make it bloom? I got a 2 year old and it's still not giving me a flower or a fruit

Nice, interesting fruit too. Is it a fast grower?
Yes, it grows relatively fast. That's why I'd like to get one in the ground. Not as fast in a pot...
How long did it take for your cactus to get this size?
I’ve had it for less than a year. Started out absolutely tiny!

If you have any buds, you'd be interested in selling off of that thing. I am local.
Never, ever top a cactus like this.
Could you elaborate? Enlighten me..
I did, and both top and bottom are growing wonderfully
