Q: I have a mature partridge cactus that has snapped off at the roots (the pot was knocked over). I have tried to get the plant to reroot using growth hormone, but it has started to rot at the base. Any idea how I can save this plant? It still has maintained its turgidity and looks quite healthy everywhere else! A: Try making a fresh cut and allow it to “cure” for a few days before attempting to root it in a sandy/peat medium. Keep it barely moist. This may work for you, I hope. It often does with other cacti.
