Saving My Broken Cactus

Save My Broken Cactus

Save My Broken Cactus

I have a 3 foot tall cactus that broke off two large shoots. I was wondering... This may be a very naive question, but can I attach the two broken shoots with duck tape (haha) and will it heal itself and grown roots back to the base. Or should I go back to just repotting them? I know you are all thinking this girl is crazy, but at least you'll get a good laugh, but I thought to give it a shot! Help anyone?

Saving a Broken Barrel Cactus

My 3.5 foot barrel cactus has been broken below the ground level as it tapers to a point. We were trying to stand it up and it fell over, we stood it back up. Will it survive?
