Will this work well with cactus cuttings?

Rooting hormone should only be used for hard to root types of plants. Cactus dont need rooting hormone.

I have used it very successfully with Christmas cactus. It is my understanding that the minerals needed for rooting are the same for all plants.

The product works well with almost all oramentals, including leaf, greenwood and softwood cuttings.

David I fear the intensity and light spectrum alone won't do for these plants. This light is ideal for tomato seedlings but not so much for mature plants. In personal experience however i found that it becomes unpractical to support any production produce taller than 30 cm. Considering that your cactus is a c3 plant you'd need take a look at what light spectrum is most favorable for it's metabolism. Not sure about the palm tree. But in either case I found the light works best about 15cm from canopy of the plant. Hope it helps and best of luck.

Things that will work well is get a cutting with a small leaf then cut stem under water at an angle. The more of an angle the better. Use an eyedropper and put some Clonex down your hole in case you rub some off inserting the cutting. Keep moist and use fertilizer cut to about 1/4 strength and mist the cutting 2 times a day. Make at least 3 times the cuttings you wish to keep just in case something goes wrong. Should get about an 80% success rate if you did everything correctly.

Would probably be good. It doesn't have a real good height adjustment for real close cutting, but it works great for thicker grass and around bushes, etc.

I use it primarily for cutting palm fronds, which are quite firm. However, I have used it to trim spent crape myrtle blooms/seed pods, and it works on both wonderfully. Rarely have I been so pleased with a relatively simple product. I think it should work for you, but can't be sure. Just dry off the blades when you are done :)

I use it to root in a humidity dome, then plant in soil. works great for both seeds and cuttings. stays moist, sometimes too moist if you mist too often.

Yes any of these will grow bigger with time. You can always pot up these cactus so that they have the room to growShop Succulents

The saw would certainly be able to cut it. But since the plant is a bush you would have a hard time holding the bush so the saw can do it's work. I would not recommend it for that type of cutting.

It should work however I would consider a gas powered tool like a weed eater with a brush blade depending on amount and size. This would work great for finger thick vines but smaller stuff would give and not cut as easy.

This is a very firm natural bristle brush. I'm not familiar with how firm a cactus brush might be. However I believe this will do the job for dry brushing. I think it's worth giving it a go... Good luck and I hope it's what you're looking for.

Transplant, not good soil and not really enough room, go up a size or two, but not super big and use a good Cactus soil mix. water, but do not over water.

This model is a bit small for your area of cacti. I would recommend locating a larger light that can cover more square footage.

Most likely. I have a wide variety of growth on the property and it cuts everything but more dense sapplings (eg trees). It will cut wild roses which are very tough.

Yes, I cut mine to line the inside of 5 gal buckets to plant trees in. A regular pair of household scissors will work fine.

I am not certain if it works on orchids, I used it on some rosemary cuttings and it worked great.

Theoretically, yes. I haven't done it on cactus, but I read that you use a rooting hormone on some, but a powder one, not a liquid. And most cactus are easy to root without a rooting hormone. Look it up online for more information.
