Just a friendly reminder to sweep your cactuses left to right and your succulents right to left🥺

Ah yes, the cactus cleaners. Don’t forget to wash them with paint thinner before you apply to the plant!

Oh shit these are for *cleaning?* I’ve been using them to blend and shade my cactus’s makeup…

Bougie spoiled cactus getting repotted and dusted. That’s what old toothbrushes are for.

BONUS Tip: you can also use it to paint your succulents and to apply glue for fake flowers

😅 don’t use these, I see this just pushing the dust into the stomates; just use a microfiber rag and *gently* wipe the surface. The denser needled ones I usually use canned air for.

Whatever you do, DO NOT just give them a shower. You have to remember that cacti HATE feeling like they are actually outside…they would much prefer being treated like plastic.

Make sure to paint a gloss finish so no dust or sand gets on your delicate cacti!

Nobody got time for that. Just get a can of brake cleaner.

Tip one: don’t pay extra for a cheap regular old brush just because they put “cactus” on the packaging.

/uj You know the only silly thing about these is that they say “cactus” on them, otherwise brushes really really help, I was just using one today to pull some substrate away from the base of a cactus where it is pupping and to apply sulfur powder to some cuttings.

I see your cactus dusting brushes and raise you the [marimo stirring wand](https://mossamigos.com/products/moss-stir-wand)
I prefer to get my face real close and sneeze the dust off
Do you guys measure your succs from bottom of the pot to tip of the plant? I mean, that’s what I do. You guys do too, right? Right???
Just run them under the tap.
Temu helping the world out, one cactus at a time
i do actually get dust on mine when i repot but you can just pour the water directly over them next time theyre thirsty and theyll be fine
I gave them the brushes and some pine Sol and my cactuses didn’t clean SHIT! My house is so messy still. How do I motivate them?????
