GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

If you are searching for How To Save a Dying Cactus, this article should help. Most people who buy and tend cacti love them. When they get sick it’s upsetting as they’ve likely been around for years. Use these steps to help save a dying cactus at your home or business.

CUT ROTTING PARTS AWAY

Rotting is generally a sign of overwatering. The black or brown sections of the cactus must be cut away. Then you must decide if your soil is completely soaked and should be put in a new pot with new soil, or if you’ll be able to let it dry out and begin your new watering schedule again. If you decide to repot your cactus you should use mix one part peat, two parts garden soil, and two parts coarse sand.

ADJUST DAILY SUNLIGHT

Depending on the sunlight available your cactus may be getting too much or not enough sunlight. For cactus which are becoming more narrow or rounded more sunlight should be added. Either place the plant where it gets more hours of sunlight a day or choose to move it in the midday for best results.

ADJUST WATERING

For cacti that look wilted, are shrinking, or are wrinkled you should add water. It’s important to allow the soil to completely dry before watering, to avoid root rot. If your cactus is in a pot it should be one where excess water will drain easily. Watering should be adjusted based on the temperature and season. During the hotter parts of the year you’ll want to water about 1 time per week indoors. During the cooler months of the year you’ll want to back that off and only water when the soil is dried out completely. For outdoors you’ll need to monitor the soil and water when it’s bone dry and there’s no rain in the forecast. Learn how to water a cactus here.

RINSE OFF DIRT & DUST

When the flesh of the cactus is covered with dirt or dust it cannot process the light properly. You can use a soft sponge or rag to rinse off this residue. You can wipe it down with a sponge soaked in water and a drop of dish soap or you may choose to rinse off your cactus under the faucet in the sink. For outdoors you can use a house to gently rinse off your cactus.

CONTROL PESTS & INSECTS

Another cactus killer is pests and insects. They’ll cause yellowing sections on your cactus and make it sick. To common insects that are harmful to cacti are the spider mites and mealybugs. You can purchase solutions from your local nursery for spider mites and use rubbing alcohol to kill mealybugs. Spider mites are tiny red spiders that have webs that are like sheets. Mealybugs appear in powdery white clusters.

USE LOW NITROGEN FERTILIZER

Use some fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season which usually starts around March. Fertilizer is mixed and packaged in different ratios. The ratio that is best for cacti is one where the nitrogen is rated at 10. This means a common solution is a 10 (N) – 30 (P) – 20 (K). Avoid excessive nitrogen as it will cause stunted growth and a texture that’s flabby.

HOW TO TREAT CACTUS ROT

Cactus rot is caused by overwatering. While owners might feel like frequent tending is how you care for plants, the cactus doesn’t need as much attention. Most cactus that turn brown and black to eventually die have been overwatered by accident by their owners.

LET THEM GET DRY

While most plants get sickly if they aren’t watered often the cactus is a plant that needs to dry out as part of it’s plant cycle. The roots of the cactus are accustomed to having very little water in nature and will rot if you water them as much as you do your tomatoes.

WATCH FOR MUSHY SECTIONS & DISCOLORATION

It’s incredibly important to watch for your cactus to get mushy or start turning brown and or black. These are signs that overwatering has occurred. The roots are probably already dead and rotting. Simply do not ever overwater. Pay attention to your cactus soil and only water when it’s completely dried out. It may seem neglectful, but that’s the natural environment the cactus is used to.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU’VE FOUND CACTUS ROT

It is time to trim them off with a sharp knife and repot or replant your cactus. Make sure you use a good mixture of garden soil (2 parts), coarse sand (2 parts) and peat soil (1 part). It’s also important to choose a pot that’s a little oversized and has good drainage holes. If you’re growing cactus outside make sure the soil you’re planting in is good draining soil with a portion of sand to help facilitate this affect.

TREE REMOVAL COST FACTORS

There are 4 main factors that affect tree removal costs: location, height, diameter, and condition. Each of these factors make a tree removal more complex and time consuming for your tree removal company.

TREE LOCATION

Trees that aren’t near structures, fences, or other valuable property or real estate are cheaper to remove. In contrast trees that are right next to homes take more work, are more complicated, and the tree removal company must take liability if something goes wrong. For this reason additional steps are time are taken to ensure the removal goes smoothly and nothing is damaged.

TREE HEIGHT

The height of a tree is one of the most influential cost factors. The higher the tree the more equipment and time will be needed to remove the tree. From ladders to climbing rigs to lift buckets or even cranes the costs go up as the tree does.

TREE DIAMETER

The width or diameter of a tree has an impact on the cost of removal. First in the time it takes to cut through the trunk but also when it comes time for stump grinding. The wider it is the more time it takes to cut the tree down and remove the stump.

TREE CONDITION

Dead or dying trees take less effort to cut through and grind the stump away. As they take less time the costs are usually lower than trees that are still healthy. So if the tree is rotting and weak it doesn’t cost as much as if the tree is strong and healthy.

TREE CUTTING COSTS & SAFETY

Just about anyone can work an axe or fire up a chainsaw, but it comes with serious risk to personal harm and property damage if not done correctly. The direction and way the tree falls can spell disaster and the removal of medium to large trees many times requires sections to be carefully removed with a crane or ropes. Let the pros with the right equipment take care of your tree needs while you enjoy an afternoon of leisure or take care of your business.

TREE PRUNING DEFINITION – Pruning is a horticultural practice comprising of the selective removal of certain parts of a tree, such as roots, branches or buds.

REASONS TO PRUNE

Because each cut can change the overall growth of the tree, no branch should be removed without grounds to be cut. Typical reasons for pruning are for the removal of dead branches, to enhance form, and to reduce risk of falling branches. Trees can also be pruned to let in more light and air penetration to the tree’s crown or to the landscape below the tree. In some cases, mature trees are pruned as preventive or corrective steps, as regular thinning does not actually improve the health of a tree.

WHEN TO PRUNE

Most regular pruning to remove disease-ridden, weak or dead limbs can be completed at any time of the year with little impact on the tree. In general, wound closure and growth are increased if pruning takes place prior to the spring growth flush. A couple of tree diseases, like oak wilt, can develop when pruning wounds and can provide access to pathogens. Vulnerable trees should not be pruned in active transmission spells.

PRUNING TECHNIQUES

Certain types of pruning may be necessary to manage an adult tree in a healthy, safe, and appealing condition.

CLEANING – Cleaning is removing dead, dying, diseased-ridden, weakly joined, and low-strength branches from the crown of the tree.

THINNING – Thinning is selective branch removal to improve the tree structure and to increase light penetration and air movement throughout the crown. Correct thinning opens up the foliage of a tree, lessens the weight on more substantial limbs, and helps keep the tree’s natural shape.

RAISING – Raising removes lower branches from a tree to allow clearance for buildings, vehicles, and people.

REDUCTION – Reduction reduces the size of a tree, usually for utility line clearance. Reducing a tree’s height or spread is generally done by pruning back the tree leaders, and branch ends to secondary branches that are sufficiently large enough to take over the terminal roles. In comparison to topping, reduction helps keep the form and structural durability of the tree.

PRUNING YOUNG TREES

Proper pruning is vital in developing a tree with a robust structure and appealing form. Trees that receive proper pruning measures while they are still young will need fewer corrective pruning as they grow older. A sturdy structure of primary branches should be created while the tree is still young. These limbs are called scaffold branches and are a mature tree’s groundwork. Properly trained young trees will start to develop a strong structure that needs less corrective pruning as they grow older. For a lot of young trees, try to keep a single dominant leader growing upwards. Don’t prune back the tip of this leader or let secondary branches exceed the central leader.

PRUNING PALMS

A lot of pruning of palms is done to remove dying or dead fronds, flowers and/or fruiting clusters, especially those that may be a possible risk to the public, like coconuts. Pruning is typically conducted at least twice a year. Coconuts can be pruned as frequently as every 3 to 4 months to minimize the risk of damage or injury from falling coconuts. It is best for the palm if green fronds remain unharmed. Palms that are over pruned may have a slower growth rate and can attract pests. Climbing spikes should not be used to climb palms for pruning because they harm the palms trunk.

PLEASE DON’T TOP TREES!

Topping is possibly the most harmful tree pruning technique known. Yet, regardless of more than 25 years of literature detailing its adverse effects, topping continues to be a common practice. Topping is the cutting of tree branches into stubs or to sideway branches that are not substantial enough to take on the terminal role.

ALTERNATIVES TO TOPPING

Every now and then a tree must be reduced in height or spread, like for clearing utility lines. There are suggested techniques for doing so. Small branches should be cut back to their original point. If larger limbs are required to be shortened, it should be pruned back to a sideways branch that is large enough to take on the terminal role. This technique of branch reduction helps to preserve the natural form of the tree. However, if significant cuts are needed, the tree may not be able to close over and let its wounds compartmentalize. Occasionally, the most natural solution is to totally remove the tree and replace it with a species that is more suitable for the site.

TREE PLANTING COSTS

Planting a tree has a lot of benefits including adding shade to your yard, dividing adjacent properties and improving the look of your home. However, not all trees are the same.

A hole is dug, the tree is planted and supported, and fencing is installed if required. For larger trees, planting costs are a lot higher and can range into the hundreds. These costs are often bundled with delivery and transportation fees.

TREE PLANTING COST FACTORS

LOCATION – If the tree is on a hill or tucked away in the backyard, it will take a landscaper longer to move the tree to that location. However, if the tree is going to be planted in the front yard, planting will be easier.
