I am an amateur so please excuse my level of ignorance but I have some beautiful cacti that I have nurtured for several years without knowing their names and hence their preferences and behaviour. I have two questions:
1. Could some kind soul please identify these: http://subcontinent.com/misc/cacti/cactus_20100914_1888.jpg These are small ones. About 5 inches high. Just did not survive in the original pot or in other pots. One lot miraculously did and this is it. Cannot figure out their behaviour at all. http://subcontinent.com/misc/cacti/cactus_20100914_1895.jpg These hard skinned fellows are about 2 inches high. They grow slowly and spill out from their pots. They have very shallow underdeveloped roots. Look nice in a cluster. http://subcontinent.com/misc/cacti/cactus_20100914_1908.jpg An extremely unusual and hardy cacti or succulent. Plants spring up wherever a finger size offshoot falls off. This one has pullulated like some strange organism from outer space.So far it has grown to a height of about 10 inches. 2. How to make cacti thrive? Is liquid feeding preferable or soil enrichment with bone meal? Thanks in advance Indranil
