Stressing, that means that through the use of enviromental stressors like lack of ight (which BTW causes etoliatation if the cactus has roots and the soil temp is above 70 and the cactus begins to grow without the proper light) then you have lack of water, high temps, direct sun and such BUT, the cactus MUST be rooted to stress it. |
Wow! I keep reading all over the place that cuttings can be stressed in this way.
Seem's I've been wasting my time with the cuttings I've got stored in the dark in the shed!
