Question
I have a cacti that has these white things all over it and i think it is dying how can i stop it.
Dear Stuart,
You're not giving me much to go on so so I am giving you this website: www.CactiGuide.com. Go to pest and diseases and scroll down to mealie bugs. Is that what your plant has? If not, do you have a picture and/or more info? In the meantime move it away from your other plants.

Did you go to he site I recommended and how did you make out?

Expertise
I can answer questions regarding the care and propagation of cactus and succulents and would actually group these together as folks often mistake one for the other and often their care is quite different. I also have a cold hardy cactus and succulent garden that has been quite successful. The subject in regard to classification of type is enormous and I wouldn't be able to answer all questions by any means. It is really IMPORTANT TO INCLUDE A PHOTO if at all possible and LET ME KNOW WHERE YOU ARE FROM, especially in terms of climate.
Experience
I have learned by reading books, by trial and error and by consulting with folks with much more knowledge. I have primarily grown C&S for the last 20 years.
Organizations
Cactus and Succulent Society of Massachusetts.
