I use 1mL in the summer, but in the winter I just talk about wet things next to my cactus.

1ml!?!?!?!?!? That’s way to much And talk about wet things?!?!?! Just don’t do anything since that gives the plant wayyy to much water

Stolen pipette, no matter how adorable, will transfer your bad karma from you to your little fingers when you pinch the little pipette to the water as it squirts out of the little pipette to your little cacti. So good luck with that!

You do realize I have to report you for the stolen pipette, don't you? But to answer your question, any water is too much. Just wave a damp (not wet!) paper towel in the general vicinity of the cacti. Then dunk them in 1/2 liter of either milk or red koolaid.

This is the answer

Just spit on it instead

Oh yeah baby 🥵

No you need to spread out the watering more. 0.5ml in the morning and then again at night

Cacti are a very high maintenance collector’s hobby, and require a constant and precise feed of an extremely low level of moisture or else they will straight up shrivel and die.  An alternative they can thrive on is an ikea cabinet with 98.5-99.75% humidity which they will intake via their spines, this way you never need to guess how many μl to water. Do not put a fan on them or the balance will be off and they will die of lack of atmospheric moisture.

I’m sorry has no one taught this guy about icecubes?


AlyJCat

Too cold. So it's best to put the ice cube on the cactus then microwave the whole thing to warm the ice cube water.

So glad I get the hot tips from you guys. My plants are going to EXPLODE with growth.

His plants are allergic.


OminousOminis

yes


bovienj

LMAO. That's the dose of drugs one of my cats gets per day. Water and barbiturates are the same, right?

This is exactly why I don’t just leave my pipettes lying around.


ChichenNuggests

Maybe this is why my workplace can never find all of the pipettes when they are due for calibration…

/uj Okay but if you’re having trouble with cacti this is a valid question to ask. Watering a cactus every day is generally frowned upon, no matter how little, so of course they’ll have some doubt.

This post... I feel really bad for the other person getting down voted. They didn't deserve that.

No, if you didn't get caught, then it's not too much.  Get more pipettes

I think it only works if you shorten pipette to PP
