This works on cacti that have a main body with limbs (instead of succulents). Remember to have protective gloves and that it may take some time for the cactus to heal back to its original state. Our guide will allow the option to mend the cacti that you have been growing for a long time, instead of feeling like your cactus is a lost cause.

First, check the status of your cactus by assessing its dryness. If it feels dried out, an extra step will have to be taken.
-
-
-
-
Use the string to tie cactus together. A simple string like embroidery floss works fine.
-
Wind the string around your cactus carefully. Make sure to cross the string over the other, creating a perpendicular line.
-
Repeat this step multiple times until you have wound the string above and below the wound.
-
The string should be tight enough to create support for the cactus.
-
-
-
Once the piece is properly calloused, take the cactus and press it gently into the soil. The piece should be resting slightly in the soil and does not have to be buried deep.
-
However, if the broken limb is large, bury the cut end of the limb until it can fully support itself on its own in the soil.
-
With the appropriate care of your cactus, it should be fully healed and continue to grow!

Thank you , help me a lot! I accidentally cut off my cactus because i though it was rotten after the plant under it rotting from too much water. Here's cactus for you 🎉🌵🌵🌵🎊
I am looking for a way to obstruct the holes a woodpecker created in a Saguaro Cactus. This plant is 100+ years old and 25+ feet all with three fully developed arms. The solution must be able to withstand 120 degree weather in summer. Any Suggestions?
Bonjour. Mon cactus hérissé (Austrocylindropuntia subulata ) a deux troncs de 1m90 que je bichonnais depuis 20 ans à basculé dans la nuit. Les deux apex ont été cassés. J'en ai été très triste. Je suis tombé sur ce site et vu qu'il était peut être possible de les "recoller" sur leurs troncs respectifs. J'ai donc découpé des rondelles au cutter, ai repositionné les têtes sur leurs troncs et les ai fixées avec un ruban adhésif de tapisserie en évitant les entrées d'air
.J'ai conservé un tronçon trop long de 15 cm a faire sécher avant de le planter. On verra dans quelques semaines ce qui a réussi et ne manquerai pas d'en faire part sur ce site.
