    yeah id say the thin section will remain that way forever, even if the new growth fattens up, could be wrong though. I don't like to say anything with %100 certainty lol. what ratio is the shade cloth, 30%should be fine.

    SO SICK of this "cactus of the 4 winds" bullshit. when I can be fucked im gunna go out and take a photo of every 4 ribbed cacti I have and make a post about it.

     

    ffs people they just revert anyway, and while were at it, same with melted wax, 90% of them revert. I feel guilty every time I sell one.

    that looks rough as guts dude, I recently had most of my collection wiped out due to mites but I used my move from one joint to another as a kind of quarantine. im no expert but it looks like what I had as mites. time for poison im sorry to say or it will just die off, that's probably why the stock is having issues as well.

    just my opinion and like I say im no expert, im happy for someone else to chime in and correct me.

    not sure mate, I don't know heaps about them, im trying to keep all opuntia out of my garden due to their spreading potential but this bloke is extremely close to me so I can just wander over and pick fruit whenever anyway. I remember Robert at fields was having trouble with a few self seeded plants popping up randomly (only after 80 years though lol), probly from birds eating them and then shitting out the seeds. I wanna be careful when it comes to potentially invasive species, the fruits do have a lot of seeds in them and theyre quite tasty and a good aphrodisiac.

    the spines on the pads are workable, not the glochid type spines, but the fruits have tiny glochids on them, pick them with good gloves, and then to remove the glochids put them all together in a bucket of warm water and stir, this will remove most of the glochids, I did this the other day and ate 3 fruit and didn't end up with a single glochid anywhere in me. alternatively you put them over a flame and burn the glochids off.

    cuts will be single pads as multiple segments attached are a bitch to post.
