COMMON CACTUS PROBLEMS

Cacti have 2 common issues that make them unsafe and need removal. These conditions are when the cactus is dead or sick from disease or pests or when the cactus has outgrown its roots and there is a significant risk that it could topple over and cause property damage.

UNSTABLE CACTUS

Cacti naturally grow in dry and arid desert environments in the southwest and do not usually get as much water as we use in our landscaping. When cacti are installed in commercial or residential landscapes they are near other plants that require more water and the cacti root systems will quickly expand and start soaking up as much water as they can find. This means cacti growing in our landscapes will grow much more quickly than they would in nature and can overcome their root systems and become unstable.

DANGEROUS TO PEOPLE & PETS

A cactus can be a wonderful addition to city and suburban landscaping, but they can become too large and unstable to be safe. When this happens removal is the responsible thing to do as a fallen cactus can serious damage structures or even flatten a vehicle. Even some smaller types of cacti that don’t pose serious fall risks can have spines that cause painful wounds if accidentally stepped on or brushed against. It is a good practice to remove dangerous cacti from landscapes where it is used for pets and children to play.

CACTUS PESTS & DISEASES

There are some airborne diseases and insects that can cause sickness or killed cacti, such as Bacterial Necrosis. Unfortunately the first sign that many homeowners see are after the cactus is beyond saving and removal is the only option. Certain problems cause the cactus to be too sick or damaged to save.

TYPES OF CACTUS

There are a lot of great looking cacti growing in the valley such as the barrel cactus, saguaro cactus, infamous Cholla cactus, and barrel cactus.
