The Cactus Thread

Snow would probably keep them warm but may be a problem as it thaws. Being mostly desert plants it follows that too much water would be damaging.

They can handle a lot of water as long as it drains well. It all comes down in one sheet in the desert quite often so they have to drink as much as they can all at once 😁

I watered the outside bed as it hasn't rained for a month now, noticed the Opuntia pads are quite fat with water so it must have its roots right down into the ground by now.
