blanca...everyone is right on with the chili spray...mash a bunch of the nastiest chilis you can find up, mix with warm water, and a raw egg,"which
will allow the solution to stick to the plant", then filter through an old sock into a spray bottle...doesn't take much if the peppers are
strong...lemme know. m.

Thank you ... but, sorry, I do not know what that cactus is called. It does have very long thorns though. Blooms that beautiful little flower now
and then.
