Watch as I transform a terracotta bowl into a mini desert-inspired cactus arrangement and share my tips and tricks for cactus care and propagation. I'll use various small cacti, including a Bunny Ear Cactus, blooming small opuntia as well as other succulents I've collected such as Haworthia and Baby Toes. Some of these cacti are prickly, so I'll handle them with care. The arrangement will be spaced out more than my usual succulent arrangements, and I'll use desert sand filler and rocks to add visual interest.

I'll share my favorite cactus and succulent mix, which is sandy and gritty, perfect for these plants. Cacti care is similar to succulent care, requiring occasional deep watering to mimic desert conditions. After arranging the plants, I add interesting rocks, a gopher skull for a unique touch, and finish with decorative sand. The final result is a beautiful desert cactus landscape.
