This is so useful. Thank you for your help. Such a beautiful but misunderstood plant for lighting. It is so important to know there is a huge difference between a cactus surviving in lower light conditions and thriving when we supply as much light as humanly possible. My collection is continually expanding and I am learning more along the journey. A special thank you for the time of day for lighting care. The clarification is very helpful
I am so glad I found your channel! I haven't found as good of information as I have with your videos! Thank you! I bought a Mammillaria cactus about 3 years ago I think at Lowes. I only know it's Mammillaria now because of your videos. My cactus is now 10 inches tall, which I thought was a good, cool thing. 😅 I was impressed with the growth but now know it's not supposed to be a tall cactus. It was on the shorter side for about 1.5 years when it was placed in a window. We moved and I didn't have a window to place it where my cats can't get to (they would knock it down). So, I bought grow lights and put the cactus on a shelf with grow lights and that's when a lot of etiolation occurred. I have a few questions and hope you will see them and help. 1. Are grow lights ever good enough for cactus plants? 2. Will my Mammillaria cactus be okay if I begin giving it the right light? I know it won't shrink down but will it be a healthy plant even at 10 inches tall? 3. If I do decide to propagate it, I should probably wait until spring, right? 4. I will watch this video again and others, but if I do cut it down, can the top part that gets cut off grow new roots, too? 5. Since my plant is 10 inches long, where should I cut it? 2 inches above the soil, 3 inches? Could I cut the top into multiple parts and propagate them? Sorry for all the questions and thank you again for the videos. 😊
