This is the Conversation Forum for How to Look after Cacti Thanks! >> Subject: Many thanks Posted Apr 8, 2008 by Unconformity   Posting 1 I was given a huge cactus for Christmas and had no idea when to properly start watering it, and now I know it should be about now.

Not tall, so must be globular. Lots of cylinders, some with 'arms', none more than about 30cm tall. Has a furry look but definitely has spines, took some time after unpacking it to get them out of my jumper.
