I am looking to grow my own cactus. I bought some cactus the other day at the store l want to plant it in pots. What do I do?

Yep....let the bottom ends fully dry up. Once the ends are scabbed over, put the pads in soil/sandy mix. You don’t need any fancy mix, just loose soil where water will easily drain. Add a small amount of water occasionally to add a bit of moisture...the pads should send out roots and start to grow. Some start easily....some don’t. Good luck!

Can you do this with the cold ones from the vegetable aisle?
