Q. I recently saw an article about cactus in the Las
Vegas newspaper (not one of your articles, however.)
The author was discussing how to plant a
cactus, especially when removing it from its current pot and placing it into a
larger one. He advised the person asking the question to always plant the
cactus "with its front facing the sun."
How do you tell which is the front of a
cactus?
Darned if I can tell when
looking at mine.

| Barrel cactus with its front facing away from you...or is it backwards? Hmmm.... |
 |
| Ahh....now this cactus looks like it has a front! |
A. That’s a good one! I have no idea what
the front of a cactus is either. I guess I could make some wisecracks about it. But I
think you realize the author is just telling people to orient the cactus the
same side toward the sun to reduce problems from sunburn.
