Cactus cutting has new growth
Awhile back I was able to get ahold of some Pricky Pear cactus cuttings. There was a road being ripped up and the cactus were strewn about as part as clearing the area.
Most of the cuttings I got were placed in the ground and they seem to be doing well.
One of the cuttings I got was placed on the surface of the soil.. and a few months later it has some vertical growth. The cactus must be forming roots underneath but i did not want to disturb its growth.
I placed woodchips around the cactus, to help retain moisture and to give the plant long term nutrients from the decomposing bark. Some violet weeds were trying to grow next to it.. I cleared them out not to interfere with the cactus growth.
I was expecting the cutting to do this. I've had experience growing cactus like this in the past and shows how resilient these cactus are. I hope in a few years they will produce fruit. Looking forward to eating some.
