Every time I think I comprehend cacti, they still amaze me.
This bridge cutting was rootless. It was attacked by a French Bulldog and unpotted on Sep 10. As it was healing, it was softening in the damaged area so I cut as much damaged tissue as I could, way too close to the apex. Around this time, it was unpotted again accidentally while moving. Still rootless.
Despite not seeing any day to day difference, I snapped a pic each day.
Then, while preparing to cut the top all of the way and start again as a mid, I found it was rooted.
I put together the collage and was amazed to see the new growth.

TLDR: the resilience of cacti is amazing and continues to surprise me.

she is still alive and well

Snagged this guy as a freebie at a local greenhouse sale. I know it’s in rough shape. Trying to see if it can live outside in the ground. 8b east coast.

Drying these out a little before dormancy, might do some chopping. Still debating.
