mailmanfwi asked:


The tip of a cactus plant broke off at its base, can I replant the smaller piece in soil or water so that roots can start? Sorry I don’t know what kind of cactus it is.

Kleptomaniac asked:


I need the juice of a cactus for this recipe. I’m not sure if I need a specific cactus. I’ve had cactus juice before and it tasted sort of like potatoes, so if that’s a certain kind that tastes like that I’d like to use it.

Azalea E asked:


Okay, so I need to extract alcohol from the pads, not the fruit, of prickly pear cactus. I’ve got a project to make the alcohol into fuel for a car, and I can’t find any information. And also, even if you can’t give me instructions, any information that could possibly lead me to the answer would be appreciated. Please help me!
Also, if this is in the wrong category, please tell me and I’ll move it.

Jen asked:


I received a Christmas cactus about 2 1/2 weeks ago with some buds just starting and some buds almost all the way open. Since then, most of the flowers have bloomed beautifully, but about a week after the flower blooms, the flower itself starts to wilt and shrivel. Is this normal? The rest of the plant looks healthy, it’s just the flowers that are starting to shrivel up after blooming. If this is normal, should I pinch off the wilting flowers or just leave it alone?

dds502 asked:


I wonder why the tips of the leaves of my indoor cactus plant curl and eventually turn black. Is this due to too much water or lack of it? I don’t know the variety of this plant but it’s the type of cactus smooth leaves and no spikes.

Basically I’m wondering if a cactus would survive if planted in outside in the Irish climate, I know its not the ideal conditions but just wondering how it would get on?

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?
