Cacti having babies!? - August 30th, 2006 at 03:37 PM
Ok, so when I was at the nursery earlier this spring, I got this 3 for the price of one deal. I wanted a Jade plant desperately and found one in a pot with 2 other things in there with it. The lady at the counter said "you know these two other plants are a type of cactus" and i said "oh...cool". Well, turns out these three plants are tough boogers and once I remembered to start watering them they all grew like crazy things. I'm sure I need to find new homes for these as they look like they are outgrowing the pot i have them in (opinions would be good for that as I'm not sure if i'm right). Anyways, the past couple of weeks i've noticed round things on the cacti. At first I thought they were just seeds, but last week I noticed what looked like roots coming off of them. What do I do with them now??? They are soo tiny, I'm afraid that if I pull them off, they'll get lost in a pot with soil! If I bump them too hard, then they do fall off and I'm afraid that they'll get bumped, fall off, and then die if I don't notice it. I keep the plants in the kitchen...it gets more light. What do I do? Also, anyone know what kind of cactus it is????
