Their easy-care reputation is well-deserved, but a little TLC will turn succulents into star plants
Full StoryAbout a week ago I noted some white fluff on my first bigger cactus, and I was worried as I noticed some bug like creatures, but I left it.
Today I picked up a book, and in the section on pests and infection, the first thing is mealy,s, and i realized they looked like what id seen on my cactus.
The only place it can go unfortunately is outside, I live in the southwest of england, and so unfortunately even though its warms, its gone back to being rainy and miserable recently.
All of my plants are indoors, now minus this one, and i have two questions
a) is it going to be ok outside? Its not raining right now, but if it does have some heavy rain tonight(i hope not) im afraid itll get flooded and rot D:
b) How can i get rid of the mealies? I havent got a picture on the computer of it right now, but its several cactus all grouped, with yellow spikes, and lots of them, almost like a sort of fuzz that is sharp but you can stroke??
I desperately want to save this cactus, none of my plants near it look to have been infected, ill keep a close eye, but until then this one will most likely have to be outside until its cleared up.
I can try an add a picture later or tomorrow if that would help, im just unsure how to go about ridding of the mealies both because of how close knit the spines are and because there are several cactus and i dont want to miss anywhere.
