    I have a very old cactus. I got it from my mother who got it from my deceased great aunt. My aunt has been dead for 20 years. It has been in water for as long as I can remember. It doesn't grow (no wonder). My mother told me it was a night blooming cereus ( God help my spelling). Clare, I went and got some potting mixture today that you told me about, but I'm scared to plant it because it has been in water for so long. After planting it in soil do I need to feed it. if so with what? This is the last piece. I really want to keep it going. Any Help?
    Thanks,
    Melanie
