Pediocactus simpsonii

Post by marceli » Sun Jun 09, 2013 3:15 am

I purchased 2 small P. simpsonii. I heard that they're hard to grow. Does anybody have them? Any tips or advices?

Easy to grow, but they are slow. :)

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

I'm not in a hurry ;) Do you ever water them in the ground?

I don't, but I don't know what your precipitation is like.

Yes you can water them, but if you are unsure how much water, let the soil dry out completely then it will be safe to water again. Also if your cactus swells to much, lay off thew water. :lol:
