Yes I did! It came with insects on it. I had to throw away the bag. Maybe was just a bad batch but I wasn't too happy with it.

I use it for a succulent mix and they are doing wonderfully!! I'm sure it would be great for Christmas cactus too.

i used trple chocolate cake mix to make bundt cakes for our granddaughter's wedding and they turned out great. i am unsure about brownie mix but expect it would be quite similar. set aside enough to fill a car next time you bake brownies and see how it comes out!!!

Although I don't have traditional cacti, I have used on my snake plant, which is in the cactus family. Work great! The plant gets minimal attention, and has been thriving since I started using the Jones spikes.

No I haven't tried. I tried cornbread. It came out okay. Just remember to use 3/4 c of Multi blend per 1 c of flour.

Yes,I have done that. Also I have mixed chocolate and vanilla- it tastes kind of like the original Wendy's frosty.

I purchased the jam and jelly maker for my sister for Christmas. I don't think that she has used it yet. She wanted to make preserves also so I certainly hope that it does.

i have only used it with fondant . I would try it with sugar veil and see what happens. just be sure to dust it with corn flour first.

No I have not tried that. You can ask the seller he is experienced in this plant.

I highly doubt any traditional cactus from the Southwest would survive in wet conditions long term. They suffer rot. I am using this mix for potted cacti that I can bring inside during the winter, and rainstorms here in Maryland. You might want to look at the Prickly Pear cactus as one that can handle being out of the desert.

Ingredients are: pure cane sugar,prickly pear cactus,lemon and citrus pectin. We use it with tequila for margaritas.

I would recommend using one of the recipes from the included cook book or use the one from Betty Crocker cook book. But you could use either mix in a pinch though neither will come out as well as using a recipe.

I use food color and a little corn starch to thicken. My Dad started the tradition in the 50's for our family and we still keep it going. I mix different colors of food coloring to make brown for reindeers. I mix it in an old cupcake pan so I can mix different colors and they are all together and ready when I want to use the different colors. I use a cut up sponge to apply.

I would advise you to keep in pots and bring them in in the winter.cactus don't like wet feet either. They need be on the dry side.

What a wonderful idea. I haven't tried it, but I can tell you, I sure am going to. WE bought our first Baby Alive this year for Christmas. It has to be okay. I think the main idea is to just have something that won't mildew and get gross, just in case it doesn't all get rinsed out with water. Great idea, good thinking! I think I'll just compare the consistency to Baby Alive food, and if it happens to be thicker, I thin it out with water to make them more comparable. Otherwise, I won't worry about it.

Yes, I have always used this mix in the oven. I also use the oven for the rising as the temp by me isn't usually warm enough outside. I set oven to warm (sometimes around 100 degrees) and it works great!

I don't know if Cactus mix can be used for bamboo. Most people keep bamboo in water.

Yes, I have and it worked great. I would recommend using a hgher concentration than on the bottle-- 3 tbls per gallon, not 2. Also, be sure to wet tops and undersides of leaves and you will probably have to reapply to make sure they stay controlled. Lots of luck-- squash bugs are tough to eradicate.
