After Winter cacti pictures

Post by **Jay-Admin** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 9:02 pm

Here's some cacti pictures i took today. None of these were protected over the winter. I have some little Opuntia Compressa seedlings that made it in perfect shape. Strong little buggers.

Here's the link to my pics gallery.

Looks great.
There is no way they would survive outside un protected here. Too much moisture.
I am going to try a c. optunia this year though but I will put a rain cover over it during the winter.

Thanks Wes, I'm sure there are some opuntias that would do fine in Van un protected. You should try O. Humifusa. They are wet tolerant opuntia.

Where would I find one of them?

Thanks John, the yucca is just my trunking filamentosa.

Wes, I will send you a O. Humifusa pad as soon as they they perk back up.

That would be awesome.

You'll have to give me instructions on what and how I plant it.

Thanks

Jay, Your cactus collection is awsome. It looks like all your cactus do very well in your climate. Nice filamentosa.

Cheers

Wes, they are pretty easy to plant. You can even lay the pad on it's side and it will root. When i send a pad to you i'll make quick a note for you.

Thanks Ryan. I hope to get more variety this summer. I just made some more space for more cacti.

Barb, I had about three cacti die this winter but now i know which ones are the tough ones.

Regards,
Jay
