How are the cloth bag pots? Do you find you have to water them more often? I imagine they dry out a bit faster than "standard" solid pots.

I've never tried them before, I just potted these cuttings today and they're my first time growing cacti in a few years, before I used plastic or ceramic pots since they're cheap.

I heard these can help with draining, and prevent root binding, so I was curious to try them last time I was growing cacti. Then a friend had two to spare so I got them for free, so it was an easy choice. Plus, no holes means less entry routes for the bermuda grass around here 🤞

i'll still wait a few weeks to water them, since the bumpy cactus only had one root starting that I could see, but yeah I'm guessing with the quicker drying and AZ summer, I'll probably need to water them more. How often do you water?
