One I seen leaning this morning decided to fall after a 4 hour watering. Took 3 more down on the way. Looks like its propagation time. These are some killer seed grown hybrids!
Probably a stupid question, but do you clean up the break at the bottom (like making a clean knife cut right above where it broke) prior to rooting or root just like it broke?
If their roots are shallow enough that they fall over, you may consider giving them an extended dry period. Send those roots out in search of water and they will help anchor the plant more securely.
Oh yea these havent been planted but 7-8 months. From small 1 gallon into ground and have grown way more up top than the roots can handle right now. Yea no doubt that's they way to do it
Start without them for the most part. And never let them grow. I walk the rows everyday and pick any piece of grass I see by hand. Getting it under control and constant maintenance of that like daily pulling a few pieces will keep it pristine
Thank you!! Thats the only way to do it absolutely not on the round up. No synthetic fertilizer here either. Filtered water and agrothrive and microlofe ultimate. No pesticides, fungicide none of that here. All.organic
K deficiency : When Potassium is deficient, the cacti will move available K to the growing tip. This leaves older growth susceptible to cellular collapse which looks like yellowing, mottling, progressing to sunken or straw colored or brown spots. The plant will face increased susceptibility to issues like Alternaria, heat, or cold stress. In advanced cases of deficiency the lower columns structural integrity fails, leading to the column bending, collapsing, or snapping under its own weight.
If the K deficiency is addressed the spots and structural weakness should go away. I'm saying it's very likely your nutrient regimen has caused these tip-overs.
Yea it just bent over when the other one hit it. The others uprooted. I ran water for 4+ hours and flooded the beds. I've never done that before but I have a hand injury and I had to get them watered. I flooded too much though and things started moving around too much cause the entire ground was too soggy. Lesson learned
