Added new cacti and update on previous ones.

in botany •  5 years ago 

I'm not much of a gardener these days, but I had to transplant some cacti that I had in a pot for some time.

I had originally planted the cluster outside but a moron was in our yard and trampled them. I potted them hoping they would survive. They did so it came time to put them back outside.
Obviously they are a type of prickly pear cactus. I made the mistake of rescuing them without glove. Never do that again.
When we originally purchased them, we bought a couple others. one nearly didn't survive but another did and is thriving in our yard

It had beautiful pink flowers that only lasted a week and I didn't had time to get pics. Maybe next year.
About a year ago I posted about a cactus I rescued. It is also doing very well.
I found the original picture of it laying among the rocks

It was drying out and again I didn't think it would survive.

But several months later, it was doing very well, and I posted this picture.

It has now grown over 3" tall

In regard to the one that almost didn't survive; We potted it and let it grow on our indoor patio. Two years later it's getting out of control.

It's about 2' tall and hitting the ceiling.

Time to plant it outside.
