Hi, hope you can help! My ex gave me a cactus years ago. It's been thriving for years in my care! Found some weird red bugs feeding from the flower buds which I believe are spider mites.
So my actually have 3 questions...
1. Can someone please identify this cactus? It blooms at night, for only one night, beautiful...ill post photos if I can figure out how to do that (first time on this forum)
2. How can I kill these bugs without killing my plant? I got some safer soap spray, will that hurt the cactus?
3. Any tips on transplanting this thing? It outgrew its pot some time ago
Thanks so much for your help!
