Mamm Duwei roots

Post by **Maria J** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 1:27 pm

Following on from my Astro post, I also decided to repot this Mamm Duwei (bought in Wilkos some months ago now).
I had great difficulty removing it from it's pot, and when I did, WOW, those roots!! I immediately checked in my book and found that M.Duwei do have tuberous roots, so that's fine.
Problem for me is that I have never seen any on a cactus before, so to the more experienced eye, does it look healthy? It is quite firm and clean all over (again it is wet as I washed the peatty compost off)

Hi Maria,
Yes it looks fine, just make sure you give it a gritty compost and will grow well for you.
HTH.

Looks great! White roots are always good.

I'm giong to have to start paying closer attention to what Wilko's have in stock!

Agree with the others - all looks fine down there.

Thanks everyone, I?ve put it in a peat free compost with plenty of fine grit and perlite too, so I hope it will be happy. I?m relieved to know it?s normal anyway!
(Wilkos have stopped stocking cacti at the moment, back in store after Xmas I would imagine! Hopefully!!)
