firstly.... for the LYN coz having this forum..


my mom love cactus very much....
what she did with it most of you guys already mention it above... most important..do not give a lot of water the roots will rot and died away..

i remember for the soil she uses this mixture of those crushed red-brick (can be bought from gardening store) and the normal "tanah gambut"...
she told me .. he reason being to not letting the extra water or moisture to be in the pot after we "siram" the cactus....

and a lot of patience....

also for those big type cactus... do not tanam in pot... they need better area for the roots to grow... so find yourself a land and plant it on the land so that you'll have a healthy and flowery cactus.. as below.... and the below cactus got flower regularly as well.




thank you
