A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Cacti and Succulents in the Garden firestick pencil cactus

Many of you saw this cactus when I bought it it was just green because I bought it in the winter I have since placed it side,, The info I had on it is that the more sun it recieves the redder it will become . It has been outside now for about three weeks and this is the result soo far!! I imagine by mid spring and summer it will all be red and a more vibrant red!! I sent Comfrey a piece of this and hope she gets the same result!!!




Oh and Wrennie The sedum you sent me last year for my froggy hair is coming back!!!seeeee!!!! LOLLOL

man I ccouldn't find where I had posted this!! arrrrrg!!!!

i like it diane! and the sedum. i'm hoping i'll get my self motivated this year

Thanks Jiffy!!! the Jade you sent me I set it outside about the same time and it looks like its perking up When Matthew Gave it to me the top of it was bent over and it's still bent over and growing that way But it's seems happy!!!

Thanks Penny I'm really eager to see how red it truely gets this summer!!

I have had that one for three years your pic is as red as mine has gotten. I do not get a lot of sun so I think that is why mine does not get real red. I am looking forward to see if being grown in a sunny hotter place than PA if it gets redder.

Looking forward to see your later summer Pics.

We've been getting a lot of rain and I've had to pour the water out of it dailey I hope it doesn't hurt it, It will probably be a while before I post another picture But I certainly will Cinta!

Hi Tonya!!
Long story about the froggy I got him out of a clearance rack ( the top of his head was broke off) for next to nothing ( posted in old forum) I had help deciding what to use for hair/;head) and wrennie sent me sedum for it!!

Towards the end of summer remind me and I will send you some firstick pencil cactus K??

That pencil cactus is very cool! Can't wait to see how red it gets Diane!
