Does anyone use these when working with cacti?

I've never used them with cacti but I would definitely not recommend it either. They aren't that protective.

No, I have not used these gloves working with cacti, but I think the gloves are too thin to use working with cacti.

Yes, I've used these on my own Dwarf Citrus with excellent sucess. I would use only 1/2 of a entire stake placed on outside of pot/covered in soil.

Superthrive in my experience has helped tremendously when transplanting plants. I live in the desert and all my cactus to really well with Superthrive.

Hi, I'd treat them like any other cactus. Indoors, bright direct light. Outdoors, since they're still pretty little, maybe not all day direct light until they're a bit bigger. Good luck.

they do come already grown. they are very small and I was slightly disappointed in the way they were packed. some had come out of their little pots and most were pretty root bound. not a big deal if you have the time to replant almost immediately. there was also no identification of which cacti was what. I'm kind of anal about my plants and like to know what they are. googling cacti is like a needle in a haystack, the thousands of varieties that exist. also if you're looking for "pretty" as opposed to "interesting" cacti, I did not receive any pretty ones. hope that helps. they do come already grown. they are very small and I was slightly disappointed in the way they were packed. some had come out of their little pots and most were pretty root bound. not a big deal if you have the time to replant almost immediately. there was also no identification of which cacti was what.

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.

They have worked great on everything I have used them for, but have not used them for handling bleach. I will poor out some bleach tonight and check it out. I will let you know tomorrow.

I have. I use these extensively. They work wonderfully. Wish I had bought them years ago.

I'm using them now and so far most are standing up by themselves filed with dirt. You have to be careful when you try to move them because after watering them constantly, they get very soft and fragile.

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

I use them all the time like that, except I put produce on them in AZ heat. They really help keep things fresh. However, I think Flexi Freeze works a little better. I sometimes can feel the sticky gel stuff on my hands.

I use them for protection from cactus needles and stinging nettle. I don't know if thorns are any worse than those.

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.

They come with potting instructions. I planted the stock in Miracle Gro cactus, palm and citrus soil in a 6" pot. Watered very well. Did not water again until the soil dried out. I plan to repot them to a larger pot later on. I have read they will maintain to the size of pot they are planted in. All four of mine are doing very well.

I believe you do, since it's a palm. I only used on my hibiscus tree and I'm having great results!!

Yes, I have tried. DO NOT do this, they are not even noticable at night time. Very dangerous.

I love my gloves!!! I have washed them quite a few times so far. I trim my palo verde trees with these. I love them!
