Will Hurt!

While I do love cacti, I do not suggest them in this form. Unless you are trying to get your guests to leave.

This picture of an internet cactus reminds me of the importance of putting extra friends for your cactus in their pot. Don’t you like to be decorated, too?

LESSONS FROM CACTI

We’ve talked about the over-nurturing thing before, Cacticrazies, but it is worth reiteration.

Repeat after me: Cacti thrive on neglect.

Very good.

Cacti do not thrive on being watered every week. Cacti do not thrive on being poked and moved around whenever we plant owners feel like it. No, no.

Cacti thrive on neglect.

Let us think about how this correlates with our own lives. (Notice here I am not saying that I think people thrive on neglect, but perhaps that people sometimes do not appreciate over-nurturing either.)

Do not poke your friends. Do not force your friends to behave in ways you think they should. Let your friends be your friends.

Let your cactus be your cactus.

Love,

Cactomaniac

The unlabeled cactus that I bought Sunday opened a blossom today. Hopefully this will make it easier for me to identify! (Edit: My friend says it looks like/could be related to Fitch’s Hedgehog Cactus.)

Cactilovers from around the internet are experiencing spring blossoms! How lovely!

LESSONS FROM CACTI

Are you worn down? Are you tired? Are you wishing that something in the universe would just click already and the winter blues will be over and you can go on with your wonderful spring life?

Well—the answer for all those questions is a definite YES for the Cactikids and they aren’t giving up. So you don’t get to either.

In fact, the cacti are leaning in close to the window, trying so hard to soak up that extra bit of April Sunshine. They aren’t bending over or turning away from their fears.

They are marching, head on into the very world that neglects them.

Look, things get tough. But you can find your sunshine and you can use your extra stored energy when you need it most.

Spikes up, Cacticrazies. Spikes up.

Love,

Cactomaniac

finally started my little succulent/cacti garden today. yayyy :D

Succulents love being potted together. They actually humidify each other and will grow stronger and more fully with plants nearby. A family that plays together stays together~

Grafted cacti are so pretty. They also look extra pretty next to chilled beverages. <3
