Does anyone have room for a wee orphan cactus in their home? I have a little spindly fellow who has lived with me for many years, currently toddling through his old age in my living room. Due to recent developments, said cactus must now leave my company and my home. <\/p>\n

Justin has developed an unfortunate magnetic attraction to this prickly plant, not unlike Bart Simpson to cupcakes. Although I have placed the cactus in a well-lit area in front of a window, in an unused room, barricaded with drifts and piles of laundry and power tools, he simply cannot seem to stop himself from wanting to smash his wrist painfully and repeatedly into the barbs.

If any green-thumbed individuals (Uli, I’m looking at you, here) were open to the idea of taking a small plant and its terracotta pot into their home, I would be forever grateful. He doesn’t ask for much attention, just a little water now and then, but he’s not comfortable with being petted and will defend himself if threatened. <\/p>\n
