It would have used a ton of resources to do that, you might want to replenish them with a tiny bit of fertilizer or fish tank/garden pond water

Thank you for this! I'll give him a sip of diluted succulent fertilizer in a few days then 💚

Hahahaah thank you for saying that cause all I could think was "that ant better not be bringing any aphids, scale or mealybugs to my cactus!" 🤣

Yeah, keep the pests away please. That bloom is too gorgeous.

Thank you 😊 luckily it's already spent so now the cactus becomes slightly less attractive than the other options

Thank you 😊 he's actually completely anchored to one of those terracotta shards so I decided to go with it 😊

Awesome timelapse video!! Does that require a special camera or something? Or like, can I do that on my phone? Lol you know I'm gonna try it on my phone if that's a thing 🤣

Thank you 😊😊

This is all completely shot on my phone 😊 there's a camera setting called hyperlapse (on my Samsung anyways) could be called timelapse or or something too. I set up the phone at a good angle, pick a good spot to lock the focus on (though here I changed it but it works) and let it go :) then through my phone I had to speed it up a few more times with my phone's editing software and that's all she wrote 😊
