    Oh my…6 months ago?? I JUST found you. I bought moon cactus for my daughter, and the top of one (a red color, I think), died, and the stem of it is turning a really light yellow green. I guess I’m gonna cut off the top and wait and see what it would do. I hope you’ll make more videos, Sir - I just subscribed.

    I got to share this. The red grafted part got muskie so cut it off. The little red parts dried up. A week or 2 ago I dropped 2 in a glass of water. Today I noticed some roots growing.. I can't believe it. 😅😅😅

    My brother got a lot of moon cacti and i ended up having to care of them and i got the really recently. I was wondering will the top grow a lot or will it remain around the same size.

    Thank you, this was very helpful, wish I found you sooner. All the new growth on my original plant started sprouting, what looks like roots. Are they roots??

    What to do if the bottom part dies? What should I do with the red top?

      You can try to cut it off and let it dry for a few days then put it in some cactus 🌵 mix to see if it will root. Never tried it let me know how it goes. Sorry I could not be of more help

      Give it a lot of sunlight if it has been in the home just a little each day slowly a little more each week and a little water base fertilize keep above 45°f

    Why do you let it sit for a few days before replanting? I've never had to do that before.

      With the open cut it can start rot. If you let it sit a few days it will Callus.

    The top if my moon cactus died so I cut it off and now, on a top corner of the remaining cactus, I have a skinny, new growth. It's super skinny and long so I'm wondering what I should do with the new growth. I'm afraid it will get knocked off!?!!!

    When is the first watering you give the new cuttings after repotting?

    • @PlayingwithPlants
      @PlayingwithPlants  Год назад +2

      I water my mix lightly before placing my cutting then let the mix dry out before watering again

      Thank you I just bought a moon cactus a few weeks ago and was just wondering if it was possible to get the root stock to continue growing, secondly I have germinated a few dragon fruit seeds and am just waiting for the little seedlings to grow up big and strong!

    Thank you! How often would you water the rootstock? The flower just died so I cut it and now I’m left with the rootstock which I don’t want it to die.
    I don’t know if I should water right away I just repotted it
    Thanks!
