Cactus farms need water? Correct me if I'm wrong... –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bbqroast (Talk . Please sign your posts with   !
 * I think you're right with that, since cacti don't need water to grow. But most of the time water is used in automated cacti farms to collect the blocks. So i would recommend a change here.DerGraph 17:03, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Other methode for farm : place a catus over sand, and between 2 sand blocks in cross, and some water of course. It takes a day, and I experiment it on 666 seed... Achmed

Grids
It'd be nice if we could get grids showing what each level looks like. --Havvy 09:24, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Broken?
Did a recent update break the automatic harvesting of cacti? I just tried setting up a single cacti with a block adjacent to where its second block will grow into, and let it sit for two Minecraft days, and it never grew and auto-popped off. I had other cacti nearby that did grow, so enough time had definitely passed (other cacti grew from one to three blocks in that time). So has anyone gotten auto-harvesting cacti farms like this to work in 1.6.6? Or was that a "bug" that got fixed? --MidnightLightning 13:22, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
