Fluss Posted August 25, 2012 I don't wanna be mean or anything now but how can your cacti be so skinny and rangly? I live in Sweden with much less heat and sun and mine does much better, consider doing a time and maybe $ consuming soil mix. it's worth the effort! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
