Saguaro Straightening
If your saguaro cactus at home is beginning to lean, do not lose hope for there are ways to remedy the problem.
The three main causes for your saguaro cactus to lean are:
- it has bacteria nercosis at the base
- the balance of the saguaro cactus is offset by having too many heavy limbs on one side of it
- there is a water source nearby your saguaro which is loosening the soil around the base
Most saguaro cacti less than 18 ft tall can be straightened manually but large saguaros with several arms must be straightened by either a cradle truck or by crane.
When you first notice your saguaro cacti begin to lean you should take action immediately so it does not eventually fall and destroy property or injure any bystanders.
