Hi all i have a question, i am going on holiday for 7 weeks and dont want my two cacti to die, one of them is a little Ferocacti, and the other im trying to find out what it is on the net right now, if i give them a hefty watering and leave them for seven weeks, should they be ok? they will be indoors as its very cold over here in london regards M
this is the type as best as i can find, its not as big or dense but looks exactly like it, does anyone know the type
The second one looks like a Euphorbia trigona (it is not a cactus). Both will survive 7 weeks without water. I don't water my Ferocactus plants from late September until March/April, not even those that are just 2-3 cm in diameter (but the temperature is lower, 5-15°C). Watering a Ferocactus during winter can be dangerous, they rot more easily now than in summer.
Hi Everyone, When I go on vacation I don't water my succulents and they do fine. I wouldn't worry too much if I was you. Hope you have a great trip! Jenniflower
