A good suggestion for a small collection of <B>some</B> types of cacti. <BR/><BR/>However, I wouldn't suggest <B>any</B> kind of dusting for most opuntias, plants with hooked spines, and plants fully covered with spines (such as Mammillaria plumosa). It's not a bad idea, however, to give your cacti a "shower" - outdoors, during the summer - or a spray from a spray bottle a few times a year. When this is done, dusting is never an issue.<BR/><BR/>We have a stock answer when people ask us how to clean their cacti: "carefully"! Or...you can save water by showering with your cacti!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your input.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01838023625015601586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3131934253016017188.post-88051781893925598802008-01-24T15:40:00.000-08:002008-01-24T15:40:00.000-08:00We dust cacti and African violets with a very soft...We dust cacti and African violets with a very soft paint brush.
