If there's food value in them then I work harder to keep them healthy.<br /><br />Maybe there's hope for your cactus, with the one stem still okay.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-41201057940567690572012-11-14T03:52:44.142-08:002012-11-14T03:52:44.142-08:00We too have planted grass for the cats.

However, instead of just eating it, they pulled it up and carried it around the house leaving dirt as they went.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-21822291700930231332012-11-14T02:50:13.934-08:002012-11-14T02:50:13.934-08:00We were given a cactus as a housewarming present i...We were given a cactus as a housewarming present in March, and thought it would be easy to look after since it doesn't require watering much at all in the winter. Unfortunately two of the stems have fallen over and seem dead. We've only watered it once so maybe that was too much! Or maybe too little. I think I'll have to try the icecube method that Live and Learn suggested.<br /><br />I'm not too fussed anyway since it's not a food plant, but it is nice to look at. One of the stems is still going anyway :)Economies of Kalehttp://www.economiesofkale.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-50458544798884158442012-11-13T20:42:47.673-08:002012-11-13T20:42:47.673-08:00Hi live and learn,

I'll give that a try with a small palm-type plant that I have.<br /><br />The cat we had many years ago used to chew up anything that looked the least bit grass-like. She left the regular leafy plants alone, but things like palms looked horrible all the time. Our vet said to plant a pot of cat grass just for her. We did try that for a while, but she still preferred the houseplants.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-76555290951670857442012-11-13T18:49:26.414-08:002012-11-13T18:49:26.414-08:00I used to do okay with indoor plants and a good wi...I used to do okay with indoor plants and a good window. However, over the years, I've stopped trying because of the cats. They just chew on them and then go throw up in the corner. A lose-lose situation.<br /><br />However, I heard a good tip for plants that just need a little water, but need to stay damp. Put an ice cube on top of the soil every day or two and let it melt.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
