Showing off some of my neglected cacti and lots of weeds

Recommended Posts

Wow these last rains had the weeds explode! Enjoy the semi-neglected style of my collection, partly caused of my back problems the last 3 months.. on the bright side its the part of season fewer things happen

I should be potting some of them in the soil at last, but I am hesitant as its not my own land.

Fantastic cacti Sagi, some damn fine plants man.

Do you feed them much in the growing season?

What do you plant to do about all the weeds?

zelly, lol, didn't notice it, even though its a pasacana :P

olive I dont fert at all. I did that the 2nd season a bit. So they grow alright in their potting soil until they get root bound

What I indend to do with weeds. well.

not watering works well to kill most of them if your in the high heat.

de-weeding during transplanting work well too, as many of them need transplanting theoretically.

the positioning should also be taken into account so that deweeding is easier

TH> do purple carpenter bees like tricho flowers?

I have not idea mate, I wouldnt think any bees go out at night though

but all in all, I think one should learn to live with weeds and not over obsess if the cacti are exposed throughout the year.

planting chives might also be a good idea - or other wanted companion plant (f.e mandrakes) that will prevent other weeds to colonise a pot.
