I hate it when they do this with the fake flowers! At least the glue was not on the flesh of the plant. Good trick, thanks for sharing!

I just recently got into succulent care and had not realized that my recently purchased opuntia microdasys and mammillaria hahniana had fake flowers glued onto their tops. Another unpleasant surprise was the amount of severely elotiated and painted plants that can be found at home improvement garden centers to trick naive plant buyers. This guide along with many others has helped me a lot. Thank-you.

I still don't get why people decide to do this to plants and then sell them to others. same with the Echeverias that have paint smothered all over them. why?! X.x'
@JackSpellerberg
@JackSpellerberg 6 лет назад
EnolaElorie because people will buy them. I was standing next to a mom and her son and he was asking her if they could get this plant because it was purple. I explained it was painted and that it would most likely die. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Oh well..he wants it and it's purple." That's why they paint them and glue fake flowers on them..people buy it.

it’s disappointing and so harmful to the plants, especially since paints have toxins in them and also won’t let the plants breathe!

Jack Spellerberg I have a succulent I tried saving from a grocery store, I have no idea what it is, but it since has turned a dark brown color and won’t sink into its dirt. I hope it isn’t dead :( If theres any way I can send you a picture, could I get your advice?, I desperately wanted some help on this, I just don’t want to hurt it.

Hi Jack, thanks for the video and using the idea of Iso and surgical precision to salvage this specimen. My biggest concern with using the Iso is that some of that Iso will naturally follow down the valley's and reach the roots. I am positive that Iso is not good for cacti roots and will harm them possibly resulting in the cacti's demise. Use Iso sparingly and prevent Iso from getting into the roots.
@additudeobx
@additudeobx 4 года назад
Thanks Jack. Just taking precautions like pointing the cacti top lower and down so gravity can do it's thing can make all the difference I am sure. I'm planning on going to the HD and L's this weekend and because of this technique, I will not overlook some specimens that I would have otherwise just ignored.... I hope I find some unique "pricklies"....

Just got finished with this. Thanks for the tip. If I get another I wonder if it would work as well or better to just put the strawflower upside down it a small container and let it soak for a while. What do you think?

I was given a rescue cactus (about which I know NOTHING!), and it has glue stuck to the spines all the way around it. I got most of the glue off before finding this video. Now I'm wondering it will regrow spines where some came off. Also, there's one spot where the glue is stuck to the cactus itself, the skin, so to speak. Is it okay to use alcohol right on the surface of the cactus? I'm a little worried about burning it.
@JackSpellerberg
@JackSpellerberg 2 года назад
It may regrow them depending on the variety. You can use it on the "skin" and it should do fine. If you're concerned about it burning, you can wipe it off right after with some water. The ones I did showed no signs of stress from the alcohol. I hope this helped and thank you for watching!

Is it ok to use nail polish remover or something else for the alcohol?
@JackSpellerberg
@JackSpellerberg 6 лет назад
I wouldn't recommend anything other than the alcohol. I'd be concerned the nail polish would be too harsh.
@MrsD0nofrio
@MrsD0nofrio 6 лет назад
I just wrap my cacti with a lasso of newspaper to hold securely and get under the glue gently with an exacto knife and lift up. Pops right up and off. I hate getting the flowers wet they fall apart.

They block the growth point. I don't mind the flowers in store because that tells you what you're looking at. What color bloom to expect when time comes! :)

Considering the amount of effort it took to remove that flower, I personally wouldve heated a gluegun/solder iron(maybe not this since it gets so hot) and unmelted the flower off and then continued to the spines :/
@JackSpellerberg
@JackSpellerberg 6 лет назад
Absent Minded I'd be concerned about the heat of a gluegun/soldering iron damaging the tender water filled Cactus. It may look labor intensive but I assure you it wasn't!
