Regularly water the cactus by misting the soil. Do not over water since this can lead to rot!

Most cacti take several months to a year to grow back to its original size, so it will take patience to fully allow your cactus to heal.

Cacti grow better in warmer weather, so if you live in a cooler climate, it can take longer than usual.

Once it becomes apparent that the cactus is fully healed, remove the string.
