Cactii recovery operation.

Five months ago I repotted a number of plants that had languished for a year in the tiny pots I found them in. Most exploded into life but one fared less well.

This is a happy tale of Cactii who survive the rigours of life on my deck in Kumeū.

The tiny cactus, bottom left, needed some love.

Five months later the tiny cactus is much larger and looks very healthy. Unfortunately its neighbour deflated slowly despite my best efforts.

That was then……

…….. and this is now.

The pretty flowers have gone……

…… but the plant is pumping up nicely.

Approach this one carefully.

Not sure what is going on here. It looks like a pair of new petals might be developing. It would be easy to go on line and find out but I prefer to wait till the plant shows me its next move.
