We bought a new house last winter. The previous owner had some cactii brought in from the badlands. Thing is, I live in zone 2b. We get 5 feet of snow and -45 degree winters. Cactii aren't supposed to live the winter... Or so I thought.

This stuff is so thick, it's growing over it's cement encasement and I can't weed it. Keep getitng poked through my leather gloves.

Anyone know how to care for these?

Thanks in advance!
