I’ve noticed a variety of toppers for cacti around our neighborhood. The purpose to top cacti is to give them a bit of insulation. They can die from the exposure to cold from the top down. I wonder if it’s going to freeze? Last January we got two days of snow. My iphone tells me the cold temps will be in the low 40s at night. Maybe that is cold enough to harm cacti?
This is all new to me at this end of the Sonoran Desert. Palm Springs, where I lived for 30 plus years, is the same desert technically, but it is so different with landscaped grounds with grass, ficus trees, eucalyptus and of course palms. It wilder where I am now.
Here are the cacti toppers in my neighborhood:






Which toppers do you like? Do you have any creative suggestions? It seems like this could be something to have fun with.
I liked the weaved baskets but that might be a bit pricey for use of a few months out of the year.
That’s what I think too. I wonder where they found them?
I’m kind of partial to the baskets. 😀
I agree!
