I've never tried them before, I just potted these cuttings today and they're my first time growing cacti in a few years, before I used plastic or ceramic pots since they're cheap.
I heard these can help with draining, and prevent root binding, so I was curious to try them last time I was growing cacti. Then a friend had two to spare so I got them for free, so it was an easy choice. Plus, no holes means less entry routes for the bermuda grass around here ๐ค
i'll still wait a few weeks to water them, since the bumpy cactus only had one root starting that I could see, but yeah I'm guessing with the quicker drying and AZ summer, I'll probably need to water them more. How often do you water?
