Cactus Monday (#17)

Here is my instant cactus family I bought at IKEA just before Christmas. How can I be a Cactus Monday member when I don´t even have a cactus in my home? (Except from one Christmas cactus, which is more like a succulent I think) Hope they will survive here, all my plants die a slow death here , I´m terrible with houseplants. Any suggestions? Happy Cactus Monday! hier is mijn instant cactus familie gekocht bij IKEA net voor de kerst. Ik dacht hoe kan ik nu lid zijn van cactus Monday zonder dat ik zelf een cactus bezit? (behalve mijn Christmas cactus, wat eigenlijk een vetplant is) Hopelijk overleven deze mijn zorgen, alle kamerplanten hier sterven namelijk een langzame dood hier. Ik heb geen groene vingers (binnen). Tips zijn welkom! Happy Cactus Monday!

    I am not good with regular houseplants that you have to remember to water, but cacti dont need a lot of watering so maybe they will be okay. In fact I think too much water can cause them to rot. These are very cute in their matching pots.

    Sweet arrangements. I love the flips also.

    Cacti thrive on ignoring them. Only water them about once a month and put them in direct sun if possible. (killer is my name also but I learned this the hard way)

    oh they are SO CUTE! I love them.

    They are hard to kill, no worries. Well except overwatering, especially during the dormant time of year.


    HCM!!

    Happy Cactus Monday to you, Marianne! I have one on my kitchen counter, under lights. This is my first cactus, and she's still living after almost a year. Thanks for sharing!

    yes, ignoring them is the best way not to kill them! And when you do water them make sure it's only a trickle...like a couple of teaspoons :)
    They're adorable! Doesn't it look like they're all trying to peek out from their hiding places?

    HCM!!

    hi marianne!
    oh how fun that you got them at IKEA. I love that store!
    That's another thing we have in common. I am a terrible gardner/plant mom. i try though with little bonsai plants. :)
