Yes I can be a real sucker for "rescue" plants.
I picked up a 20 $ Optunia falcata at Lowes for $ 3. I had my eyes on it for several weeks when I dropped into Lowes for something. It really got my attention when it appeared that they near killed it from over watering. Of course they then went full tilt the other way and appear to have let it dry out way too much. This was over a period of time. I said to self, if they ever cut that to $5 or less, maybe I will pick it up.
So I did. (Will try to get a pic - camera on fritz.)
Now about half the plant appears to be terribly dehydrated. Most of it does look green in a healthy sense but lots of withering and shriveling. and it is DRY. Bone dry.
I have a few cactus that do fine for me. But I have never had to try to salvage one in rather bad shape.
Any hints or suggestions? (Other than of course I should not have bought it.
)
