austhree asked:


My cactus died from being in the cold too long outside. Someone told me there is a way to bring a cactus back to life. Does anybody know how to do it? Thanks so much!
I’m not sure if it’s dead though. How can you tell?

   I don’t think you can… I think you have to buy a new one or plant more seeds.

   bring to the desert, re-plant, and wait.

   You could try placing it in desert dirt and watering it. However, you say it is dead. I would probably buy a new one. They are very inexpensive. Good Luck !

   Create a video blog…instantly.

   how long and what temperature was it left outside? You might try looking at the root ball–cut off the dead plant at base, take the plant out of container and pull soil away from the roots. Cut a few roots, if green/healthy, you can re-pot the roots–best to use new cactus soil. Otherwise, time to get a new plant.

   Cactus are hardy ones maybe it just caught a cold/frost bite. So is it really dead? Press to see if it is mushy and moldy. Else you are in luck.
   If it may be alive, keep it warm by covering it with a blanket/newspaper and avoid fertilising it. If possible, extract it and remove any old soil (while protecting its root) and replant in healthy soil in a new place/pot.

   Hope it can come to live in this new year.

   Its probably best to put it in a worm spot and leave it there till it gets room tempreture.

   Well if it’s dead, you may as well go buy another cactus then go spend even more money on products and chemicals to heal your cactus, unless their is like a special cheap way, then I would try that. Thanks. =]
