Question
Hello,

I bought a miniature cacti for my son and one of the shoots fell off.  He's only six and a bit dramatic so you can imagine how upset he was to lose one of only three shoots.  He wants to know, will it grow back?  

Also, can you recommend cacti/succulents and an on-line store where I can purchase cacti/succulents for indoor/outdoor container planting?

thank you so much.
Bernadette

Answer
Bernadette,

I do know as I have 6 kids myself. Anyway, it may grow back, just not from the same spot. As far as where to buy from, here are some very good places to mail order plants.

http://cactus-mall.com/grigsby/index.html

These 3 of my favorites.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Greg
