What to do if a cactus is broken: a simple way to revive a plant

No one is safe from trouble. Sometimes an annoying incident can happen to indoor plants, and cacti are no exception.

Most often, the leaves of such plants break, and sometimes even the trunks.

And while a small loss usually does not cause concern, a completely broken cactus will upset any gardener.

However, there is no need to panic – there is a way to fix even such a significant breakdown.

To do this, you will need a cocktail straw. Use it to push a hole in the middle of the part of the flower that safely remained in the pot.

When you remove the straw, there should be a small hole left in the cactus.

Now you should take the broken piece and do the same thing with it, but this time you will have to cut off the part of the plant around the tube inserted into the cactus. This way you will be able to ensure that the protruding core remains in the center.

All that remains is to put these pieces together like a puzzle - after some time the wound will heal and the plant will continue to fully heal.
