i want to order some cactus got my red foots, but since I only have two babies I'm worried it'll go bad and I'll waste money. What's the best way to keep it fresh? I would plant it, but I'm in an apartment, and I'm a serial plant killer.
Dirt. Pot. Done.

I can try growing them, but I've killed cacti before. Would keeping the pot in my tortoise enclosure work?
I have to purchase in bulk (12 pads). Will they retain their "crispness"? My tortoise is a cactus snob and refuses limpy cactus pads.I get cactus at a local Mexican grocer. I can buy 1 pad at a time. You can keep them in a cool dry place too.
Keep them well ventilated and not in the fridge. and they should last for months. Lay them out somewhere open to the air. They need good ventilation. Putting them in a box or the fridge will rot them.I have to purchase in bulk (12 pads). Will they retain their "crispness"? My tortoise is a cactus snob and refuses limpy cactus pads.

They should be okay. All the parent plants are out in the rain too. My potted ones look fine so far.Well, all the really nice ones I got from @Tom are probably toast with the rain. I brought them inside and will try replanting them again later
I'm not good at growing things but these are really easy to grow. I took a mostly eaten leaf & threw it out the door on the yard. It grew so I had to move it. Just picked it up & tossed it in a rock garden. Growing just fine.I can try growing them, but I've killed cacti before. Would keeping the pot in my tortoise enclosure work?
