# I got two of these teensy cactuses (cacti?🤔) terrariums yesterday.…

_Posted by Penny L on 2023-05-25_

I got two of these teensy cactuses (cacti?🤔) terrariums yesterday. They’re about 1.5 inches tall at the top of the dome. They came with no information other than that they don’t need any care for three months, but I’m skeptical. I’m also clueless about cactuses because I’ve never had any before. There’s a little bit of grit at the bottom and some air holes, and I think you can unscrew the dome. I’d love to get some advice from folks who know about these prickly little guys! Thanks ahead of time! 💚

This is a cutting from a mother plant. It doesn’t “need” care because it has no roots. Keep it in bright light, but don’t let the sun hit it directly. Once the roots start coming out, pot it in a very gritty mix (half grit, half soil) water it once a month (more or less depending on climate) and slowly acclimate it to full sun.
