I had ordered two very expensive and large variegated grafted cacti from Thailand and the post office failed to notify me for 2 months they were in a box.
At first they looked ok but within a day of taking them out the grafts were rotting on both so I had to de graft both and try to root them.
One was too far gone and died.
The other was doing ok, I let it callous for 2 weeks then was told to sprinkle rooting hormone under and water lightly only when soil is dry. I've been doing that but noticed the water not drying in my house so I brought it out on sunny days a little each day.
Now it has begun to rot and I don't have high hopes!
These cost me $150 and were one of a kind colors, I can never replace them. 😥 They were going to be cross bred with my related cactus species from Italy but now I have no mates!
Very upset especially since rooting cacti is supposed to be easy and I can't get it right and it cost me big time.
I did not enjoy failing on this! 😡
