roundup + Cactus/succulents

Posted by cherax Syd NSW Aust (My Page) on

Hi All
I have a query regarding the use of glyphosate (roundup) use with succulents in general.
From my limited experience alot of fleshy plants do not suffer from the application of roundup ie; agapanthus etc. Wondering as to whether this applies to cacti as I have a job where there are weed infestations amongst very spike cacti and I dont like being a pincushion!
Any thoughts greatly appreciated

RE: roundup + Cactus/succulents

I'd imagine that if you use the recommended dilutions you'll be OK. You want to keep the cactus right? I believe they have to apply it undiluted to the cut surface of prickly pear when trying to eradicate that.
