Hi plant friends! I found this poor cactus (Planta says itās an Eastern Prickly Pear) on the sidewalk and want to try to save it š The blue looks like flowers? And the top right looks like new growth. Iām assuming it broke off the main plant and Iāll have to propagate to grow new roots. Any suggestions? Iām assuming the red circle is where roots would come from so I have root hormone I can put on there and put in water and fingers crossed roots grow?
if you laid that on top of soil exactly as it is it might send roots out from where you circled but more likely from every other ājointā between paddles. only way to mess this up is to over water ā cool find! good luck
3 gillningarI didnāt know about laying it on top of the soil. Thank you for the tip!
0 gillningarYep just lay on top of soil
0 gillningarIāll have to find a wide enough pot to lay it out on.. and assuming a shallow pot would be best, so thereās not too much soil to hold water?
