mealy bugs with a Q-tip dipped in
rubbing alcohol. If you use any
chemicals check the directions
carefully. Often what you would use
in the garden is not suitable for cacti.
1 want to leave you with the name
of one specific cacti to check out.
They are called Lithop§ or living
stones: great for kids or grandparents
as they have no prickles. Their
common names say it all: split rock,
tiger jaws and living stones. They are
easily grown once you understand
they have growing and resting
periods. During their resting period
the plant looks like it is dying when
the old leaves or bodies begin
shriveling after flowering. However,
inside the old leaves are the new
ones developing. While it surely is a
form of "growing" the new leaves
are drawing their moisture from the
old ones, and until the old leaves
are mostly consumed is watering
given lightly, taking them out of a
so-called dormancy. Lithops are as
unique as people and no two are
alike. Now isn't that an invitation to
grow a few, or many.0
