Friday, April 13. 2007We Get Follow-up QuestionsA couple days ago we answered a question from someone whose cactus was "growing sideways."
Well, he's sent us a photo, and there's more to the story... First the photo. Now the followup. Q: Hello Hap! Thanks for getting back to me, As you can see from my pics this cactus is big! about 7 foot on its side. Help! Thanks Jordon. And the asked for help is after the break... The followup answer is....
A: Jordon, It appears that the plant isn't growing sideways so much as it has fallen over, and a lot of the branches have already broken. It looks too big to me for you to be able to bring it back to vertical. I recommend cutting it up into smaller, more handleable, branches, and try repotting the separate branches, using the directions I gave before. After it's cut apart, you may be able to re-right the stump and plant it into a deeper hole; the stump would then rebranch fairly quickly. Good Luck, Hap Trackbacks
