Is this right if you make your own you use 50/50 ordinary potting mix and coarse sand.
It's getting about time I replant my barrel
cactus.
Another question it's about 15 years old. How long do they live?
Edit: I will buy a bag of Cacti and
succulent mixture. Found this to might be of interest to others.
Spiky cacti can be handled painlessly. Small cacti can be managed with kitchen tongs. But if you have a bigger
cactus, the trick is to make up some ‘hands" out of a foam box used by fruit shops. Carefully cut up a foam box so you keep one of the corners attached to two sides, and you have a good, safe
cactus-handling device.
Cacti love sun. Water them once a week, and give them a weak quarter-strength dose of slow-release fertiliser in
spring and summer.
