@zigs do you use Hulk Hands to move cacti around or is there anything better?View attachment 80825

We employ special yellow teddies to help with the transplanting

What beautiful cacti you have. I really want to go to the bedroom near the laptop, I heard they absorb bad energy

Glad you like them

I don't think there is physically such a thing as bad energy, let alone anything to absorb it

Great plants and pics Zigs.

Some years ago. I collect a good variety of cacti & succulents. I decided to replicate a kind of desert scene on the GH Staging. One night. I noticed somethin tall and white in the GH by the light of the moon. B***** cat I cried. Puffed out I entered the GH. The white was actually the flower of a cactus. It had sprouted up with a matter of a couple of hours. I rushed back indoors, grabbed the camera and got a snap. Next morning, all proud and boastful. I took Valerie with me to see this beauty. It had gone. Nowt was left but the basic plant and this sad dried up resemberlence of a once, most beatiful flower.

Another time. I had some cacti on s shelf. Suddenly one fell down. YES! I caught it. YES! again. Like a slice of toast, it landed jam side down.....prickles down. OUCH!
