How to fertilize Sonoran Jumping Cholla
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Sonoran Jumping Cholla after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Has anyone grown a Cholla cacti indoors? I just brought some home from Tucson. Hope they will take root and grow. 🌵

Whatever happened to #WhatTheSuccWednesday? My cane cholla is sprouting two new limbs after a central break in transit. Maybe I should rename it Hydra. Might as well #SpringIntoSummer.

Hydra’s two new ‘heads’ are coming in nicely.

#WhatTheSucc My mother has had this cactus for over ten years. It has survived all seasons outdoors including winters. I though it was a eve needles cactus but now I’m not sure. I was looking and I saw one that kind of looked like it that @KrunchyWrap had. I changed it to that species on its card. Do you think it’s right? #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #CactusClique #PlantID #oldplants #RarePlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants
