      Definitely was referring to the growth! I’d never seen that before. Thank you!!!

    Are you referring specifically to the white dust on the pot? (If so, it’s most likely excess salt/minerals in the soil, which is fine.)

    Don’t miss it! This flower may last less than a day.

    She had bugs this year, and I almost dumped her after so much cleaning and isolating. Despite "problems," she is a maniac.

      WOW she’s super resilient! How do you manage pest control on a cactus?
