Mine has soft spikes๐คฃ
์ข์์ 1๊ฐThat's a plus. I have about ..mmm.. 25 cacti, most are prickly, only a few have papers spines
2๊ฐ ์ข์์I just brushed up against my Opuntia cactus and am trying to get the microscopic quills out. Iโll try duct tape, thx!
3๊ฐ ์ข์์Itโs amazing the amount of times Iโve thought โitโll be fine, I donโt need glovesโ ๐๐
3๊ฐ ์ข์์SAME. That's why I bought these tongs to hold them. I got tired of feeling like I was continually at the Drs.
์ข์์ 1๊ฐOohhh I do have big tweezers for TC, imma try those next time.
์ข์์ 1๊ฐOof it hurts so much. My smallest cacti, which is less than an inch long, is more dangerous than all of my other cacti. I named him pokey, because a single brush up against him will give you like 50 spines. I found him one day when i was out in the woods. I sat down on a rock and accidentally placed my hand on him. I then was so mad I kidnapped him and he lives here now, obviously against his will.
์ข์์ 1๊ฐLmao, that's the best story. These were from a purple prickly pear, so unassuming. And most actually came from the paper towel it was wrapped in.
