The gutter crew fixing my gutters accidentally broke the top off the four foot tall Curiosity Cactus in my yard. Can I plant the part that broke off and will the open top seal itself. I don't want the cactus to get diseased. Can you help?

The top part of your monstrossa will callous over nicely in a few weeks. The piece that broke off shoud be disinfected with one part blech to seven parts water and allowed to air dry in the shade for five or six days before planting. You should also spray the open wound on the top of the main trunk to prevent bacteria from setting in.
