My cactus died...

[Ecthy]

Even when held together there are still several holes and I can look inside and see the main string. I wonder if that is a bad sign

Is there a chance to fill the gaps with some stuff without harming the thing?

I'll have to arrange some sewing equipment for that one... uh oh...

[Urban Ranger]

Hmm...

Do you have pieces missing? BTW I think you need to water the cactus more frequently now, as there are holes that water can escape from.

The only other thing I'd say is...look up a garden center in the phone book, and ask them.

[Ecthy]

I would.... alas: all stores closed on German weekends

No 7-11's? Good God no!

[Ecthy]

I tied it together as well as I could, it does look pretty deformed now... hopefully it will grow some mark inside, if not I can forget it anyway, and I already know where to build the grave... What am I saying, grave? It'll be a mausoleum.

Anyway, it doesn't seem likely I'll be able to remove the twine that early.

[Ecthy]

And it's smaller than before as well, due to being tied iregularly.

there still are some leaks.

good luck li'll cactus

[Hobbes]

s'all good. them cactus' are a resilliant bunch.

[Ecthy]

I'm afraid not, Hobbes. I truly am afraid those leaks will conceal his fate.

And if not - how long is it supposed to have those twines wound around it? (I didn't have any twine - so it's a bit more noticeable than twine would be )

[Ecthy]

it looks like a package now

hey good luck man. I don't know jack about gardening ,but I hope it will be alright.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

It's a cactus! It's a ****ing cactus! Get a sense of proportion.

Don't worry too much about the holes in it, there's nothing you can do about them.

Plus, they make your cactus holy!
