How many times do I have to say, Euphorbia is not a cactus, and the plural is not even "cacti"! They are succulents !
Like tulips aren't tubers and dahlia's no bulbs . A potato is not a carrot .
This beautiful genus deserves and begins to be properly pronounced by enthusiasts or wannabe's.
Euphorbia representing more species than any other succulent whatsoever. -
Where I live cactus is not a big seller and I love them It took me 2 years to find the tall one you have and it's not but about 6 inches tall and a bit expensive I did not get any directions n how to care for it like how much water etc., if anyone know I would thank you for the information.

cacti are not found all over the world they are only new world plants... aka.. the americas and some parts of canada

The only real cactus she has is a Tephrocactus articulatus.

ps: The (Palliser Triangle) got it's name when Captain John Palliser did a Lewis and Clark thing in 1851. All Botanical information was sent to London scientific types.

It seems only the Prickly Pear can survive north of the Montana border in the Palliser Triangle. But only right near the border where its super dry and hot! (SikSika Confederacy Lands!)

Mine needs to be transplanted and it's in a pot and its a giant can you cut the roots not like all of it just little roots

@kevinanelo Yes, over 3000 species, mainly from central/south america, and cold and wet is definately not good, especially in cultivation and pot culture. The question was, 'Do cacti do better with warm or cold water' - The answer is WARM, preferably rain water at room temperature if possible.
-
@charlie12102 there are lots of cactus species, and from differents places . remember that the climate where they live is hot during the day , and cold at night , so cold water is not as bad as you supouse .
-
Terrible advice, you obviously know nothing about growing cacti and succulents. And warm water is best junnybugg, cold water may be a shock to them.
-
and there are cacti that grow through the winter, i have many of them planted outside here at my house in northern ohio

Once a month? That's horrible. They just be really thirsty. Once a week is more like how it should be done.

Gardening Tips & Tricks : Growing Etiolated Euphorbias and Calling Them Cacti (added bonus: we put a Hawthoria in a fishbowl just to see what would happen)

Its not smart to grow plants in clear glass. Roots dont photosynthesize and require no light and can turn to stems and die.

This article fails to provide useful steps in planting a cactus and fails to note differences for the wide variety of cacti, agave, aloe, and yucca. What soil amendments are needed? Add any or no compost or humus to sand soils; add 70% sand to clay or humusy soils? What fertilizer is needed? How deep? Stake or not? Also not well addressed are differences between planting in a pot or free-standing in the garden.

holy crap thats huge
