my 40 year old cactus are turning mostly white with some brown markings. Can these cactus be saved? if so, how?

1 Answer

Answer :

Okay so listen to this answer and try it, if you do nothing the cactus is doomed.  However, I personally had the same problem when my mother passed and I got the plant that no one wanted.  Every morning I empied the remaining coffee into the plant, I did this for about 3 1/2 months, the spent coffee (not the grounds) addecd just the right amount of neutrients back into the soil that the Cactus thrived and actually grew more than 1 1/5 foot taller and added just under 3" at its base.  Now, that same cactus ghraces my office near my desk and is still alive, it has been watered 2x a month now for 9 years with coffee, it is doing quite well.  Something to think about.
