Good bye little cactus. Or, rather big, depending. I know you didn't ask for this, and I'm sorry for the 2,5 years your life begun to deteriorate, with no hope of improvement. I can only hope your previous owners provided you with such a good life, you at least have that to think back to, where you lay in a double plastic bag, outside in the snow, next to the frozen shut trash cans...
How gruesome and ironic it is, that your last moments be exactly what I tried to prevent in the first place, when trying to move you away from the window, to save you from the cold of winter. Your own spines even coming in the way of your own salvation.
I'm sorry

:indeed: he was given 72 prickly pears in heaven. :angel:

I think people shouldn't automatically say that, when there's a death happened. Of the few things that would actually offend an atheist, I think that is one of them :D
Someone said that to my grandmother when my late uncle was crashed to death on his motorcycle, "he's in a better place now!" and she _knew_ he was rotting underground - otherwise she wouldn't be crying her eyes out. There's no heaven, and he was in NO better place, he was dead, and it was horrible. She was enfuriated by those comments, although not openly, cus she knew they came from a good place:D
My friends mother just recently died, and I had absolutely no idea what to respond. At first I just changed topic back to what we were gonna do, how to meet up, coordinate buses, all that jazz. When we finally met, all I managed to say was that at least he knew it was coming, and that a surprising and shocking death would probably be much tougher to deal with :I
Otherwise, I kept my mouth shut - for safety :I He is as atheistic as me, so a "better place" routine would probably just piss him off, since he knows I don't believe it either :D
I AM ENFURIATED TOO! >:I

About the only thing I say at funerals is "I'm sorry." Just about anything else
can backfire, depending on the personal beliefs of the bereaved. I keep it simple. :tard:

To bad your in another country or I could send you some pads from the cactus I have they root very easily and have no spines
-
You could probably send that to Norway. Bint sent me stuff from Poland without any problems, though that was within the EU, though :angel:
-
Sending any sort of live plants internationally can be difficult
-
No worries :D I am terrible at taking care of plants.
Animals is easy, cus you feed them daily, and they let you know when they want attention :D
Plants just sit there :D

Overwatering, insufficient sunlight, or temperatures that are too cold are probably the commonest ways to kill a cactus.

You could probably not even get it out from the States. You'd have men in black visiting in no time. :zoinks:

All of these.
Sunlight was in desperate shortage, being 1. Norway and 2. a basement apartment.
Temperatures, an obvious problem as well.
Overwatering, I suspect this happened those times I realized I got a cactus, and watered it to "make up" for all the neglect :I

There's cactus that grow here in flagstaff and It gets cold as fuck here. I guess its because its considerd a high desert even though it snows and is surronded by pineforests

True. We have prickly pear cactus that survive outdoors here in some areas, but some cacti can't tolerate cold temperatures at all.

I medicated my succulents today.
So, hoping that I will not have to write such a sad post as ZEGH had to.
RIP, little cactus.
ZEGH, maybe you could try a Spatifilum or a Tolmiea menziesii. They will let their leaves hang in devastation, when you forget to water them. Bbut, if you make up for that, with an abundance of water, they'll be completely all right couple of hours later. (That is, if you don't let them neglected long enough to turn into hay)

My employees bought me a bromeliad last week. I'm hoping I don't kill it, but can't make any promises. :prude:

Vegans can be so brutal to their plants. It's horrendous. :GA:
