I love raising cacti, so I guess you could call me cactaceous. I’ve had this cactus pot for over a decade now, and two of the cacti in it are as old as the pot they are potted in. My mom and I had put this pot together 10 years ago and it was time to repot the soil. The gravel on top had all disappeared and the whole thing was way too heavy to move. My mother and I mistakenly put four inches of gravel in the bottom of the pot needlessly making it a real bear to move in off the porch in the autumn for the cold winter ahead.

While I planted our trees out back, Laura repotted the soil and took out all the gravel in the bottom and put new rocks on the surface of the pot and I think it looks really great now. We got two new cacti, the round bulb shaped one on the left and the multi-towered one on the right. A cactus is great because it takes so little care, and reminds me of my home, in Texas. With the new potting, I hope these little guys last a long time. Thanks, Laura!
