The
finished product. We normally do not water the cactus right away. We wait a few days before we water. But you can water slightly to cleanthe dirt around the cactus. |
If
you are transplanting or moving columar cacti or branching cacti, it is wise to put crumbled newspaper between the branches. This technique prevents the spines from damaging the cacti's sides. |
