I have got a plant!
He’s a Cactus!
His name’s Fredrico Sanchez (I’ve probably spelt that wrong), Or Fred for short.
He’s from Mexico :3

I’m not sure what type of cactus he is (I got him from B&Q in a box saying assorted cactus. So I guess they didn’t know either.)
But he grows quite slowly (I assume so anyway, on the box it said repot him every 3 years. I have no idea if that’s slow or fast in cactus terms, but I think that’s pretty slow for plants in general).
And he’s fluffy. Yes, Fluffy. He has loads of white Fluff around him. (and he also has spikes. But if your careful you can pat him on the head)
And He’s about 7cm at the moment. He’s incredibly adorable. (I know. It’s weird to think of plants as adaorable and give them names and shit, isn’t is? I don’t usually, but I dunno, cactuses are different. They’re just too cute.)

I bought him about a week or two ago and I think I’m doing well. Because you’re only supposed to keep the soil damp (in summer) and almost dry (in winter) so he doesn’t require much watering.
(I’m actually scared I might kill him by over-watering in winter ><)

and your supposed to give him special cactus food every so often (I’ve only given him some once, but that’s because I’m paranoid to touch it ever since my mum told me about how poisonus it is (too humans.) and I don’t want permenant heart and liver damage! ( XD in other words…. I’m too lazy too feed him.))

^ and wow that’s a lot of brackets.
(sorry, I guess that was kinda of topic.)

So yeah….

Bye!

P.S: Fred looks nothing like the cactus in the photo. I’ll take a photo of him and put it up sometime, but until then I just got a random cactus…
