Mammillaria Plumosa is one of the prettiest cactus out there and I feared the worst when I saw the thumbnail but thank goodness there are fresh roots coming through. I'm sure it will recover and that pure gravel method looks very interesting. 😊🌵♥

Can’t wait to see how this cactus gets in Lyn. You will have to do an update video for us later on. I’ve lost so many cactus to rot this year. I have only 4 babies left and found root mealy in 2 of them 😢 I’ve repotted them all and in a couple of weeks I will treat them with bug clear for vine weevil or I was considering hydrogen peroxide 3% to make sure Any remaining mealys are long gone. But it’s so disheartening 😢 anyway sending you lots of love xxx

So sorry to hear you have lost a lot of cacti to rot Paula, its so gutting when we lose plants, and sometimes our cacti can rot and we don't know the reasons why, root mealies are such an awful pest as we can't see them hiding on the roots in the pots, the bug clear vine weevil killer is really good at killing root mealies, I had to use the vine weevil killer for root mealies on my very big Aloe as it was impossible to get rid of the root mealies, and a watering with the bug clear vine weevil got rid of them completely, thanks so much Sis for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, and Hans and I are sending you and Tom and cutiepie Mabel lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Swindon for a super Sunday today XXXX

Thanks Lyn for a very informative video. My Parodia Magnifica, which I did a video about, seems to have lost its roots in a similar way. I also have a Sulcorebutia in a similar state. I think I'll try and re-root them in pure grit - they are in a mix that is supposed to be well draining, but perhaps it's not well draining enough. Some of these plants just seem to be very stubborn! Wishing you and Hans all the best from a warm and sunny England today 🙂🌵💚

So happy you loved the video Donald, yes I think your Parodia magnifica will re root itself well with the grit, I had to re root one of my Gymnos that had lost its roots too, the grit really worked so much better for producing roots than the usual soil mix I used to use for rerooting cacti, thanks so much Donald for your wonderful Friendship and amazing comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to Northern Spain from Hans and me for a terrific Tuesday XXXX

Great video. So informative and interesting. I have a fizzle sizzle. It lost all its leaves but the bulb looks fine. What do I do now? My heart shaped Hoya is doing very well and growing leaves! I’m not sure if one of the leaves will live. But I’m so excited! Sorry about the rain in June! Thank you for all your support with all my questions. I appreciate it.

Thats fantastic your heart shaped Hoya is growing new leaves, its so exciting to see these Heart Hoyas growing new leaves, Awwww I LOVE the fizzle sizzle plants, and they will grow back again from their bulbs, I don't have one of these myself but I am pretty sure they are late Summer and Autumn and winter growers and they lose their corkscrew leaves during the spring and early summer months, from late Summer they will regrow their corkscrew leaves again, keep more on the dry side and just a light watering once every couple of weeks until they start to come into growth from late Summer early Autumn time, and then once they come back into growth you can water every time the soil has dried out, thanks so much Mary Elizabeth for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX
