I know very little about cacti, but I have one, and I have noticed that as the parts of the cactus matures, the needles turn brown. The baby, or new spikes are often light in color, either yellow or beige. I have noticed that some of my spikes are bent or broken, and this is from it being...

In the meantime... what do I do with that schriveling up arm? leave it alone or cut it off?

So sad... can anyone help? I over watered a cactus, and I realized that there are brown spots growing all over now. Then I noticed that one of the arms are schriveling up, and FAST! What can I do?

I would purchase one, but I am a smaller person, can you offer children sizes?

Has anyone grown one of these? My flower is dying, and I read that when the flower dies, the whole plant goes with it. Is this true? Actually, I am not sure if my flower is dying... it is loosing its color, and just looks BLAH. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I believe so, I think that is what I have. They are mini plants, with just a few leaves.

How long have you had your plant? Do you have any idea how long it will take for a new plant to mature enough to grow flowers? I have a vitiflia and a caerulea!

Hey thanx. I am so very torn as to what to do... I live in NYC, and we do have somewhat harsh winters. My apartment has radiator heat, which I cannot control, and for some reason, the refigerator thing doesn't sit right with me. (Besides, I am a huge cook, and my refigerator space is...

I am a New Yorker, and plan on growing them inside. My plantlets are clippings, and are very small babies. Do they need any special care other than no direct sun light?

I have a question... I read somewhere that if your plant is still a baby, it doesn't need to go into dormancy this year. I bought 3 VFT's in June, from this site, so... do I skip dormancy? I also have 2 other large VFT's. They are both still producing new traps. What do I do? If I do put them...

Ah, my first passion flowers... my husband bought 2 for me for my birthday. One is a Vitifolia, and the other is a Caerulea. I am so excited! Does anyone have any tips they would like to share?

Hmmm, very interesting. How would I know? I bought several plants from this site in June... does anyone know for sure?

question... about dormancy... what if your plants are still producing? Give them a nap anyway? I believe I still have some time, about a month or so, but what if the new growth doesn't slow down?

hello folks... I repotted my lithops last week, and I planted them in a deep saucer without any drainage holes at the bottom. Could that be a potential problem? I planted them in 50 peat/50 soil, and covered the soil with mini pebbles. It looks swell, but I think I planted them in something I...

Good morning all... So this is what the tag reads on my orchid... P.Atienyuki x P.Taisuco Kaaladian I was told this is a phal, but how would one know? What exactly does the name mean? I have tried to do some research on the internet, but haven't come up with any results. Another question...
