Welcome to our comprehensive guide on caring for your beloved cacti. These hardy plants are known for their resilience and low maintenance, making them perfect for both novice and seasoned gardeners!
Less is more! Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In winter, reduce watering frequency as cacti go dormant and require less hydration.
Cacti love the sun! Place them in an area where they can receive plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. If outdoors, a spot that receives at least four hours of direct sunlight is ideal.
Use a fast-draining cactus soil to prevent root rot. You can create your own mix using regular potting soil combined with sand or perlite.
While cacti thrive in warmer climates, they can tolerate cooler temperatures during their dormancy period. Avoid frost as it can damage or kill your cactus.
Minimal fertilization is needed. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) for best results.
