Rainbow cactus (Echinocereus rigidissimus)

I’m in the process of repotting all the cacti and succulents before I kill every last one with fungal infections. Placing each in a new container (one that has never been used), and using a mixture of various potting medium that simulate the plants’ natural arid home environment, I hope that they will forgive the swamp and begin to thrive. (I can dream, dammit!) The potting medium includes a base layer of pea gravel, followed with a mixture of sand, perlite and moisture controlled soil, then topped with more gravel and finished with a dusting of sand. These displaced desert plants seem to be appreciating the new home. Time will tell.
