Cactus Care Gudies
Sunlight
Cacti are sun-loving plants and thrive best in bright, direct light. Place them on a sunny windowsill where they can soak up several hours of sunlight each day. If indoors, a south or west-facing window is ideal. In lower light, they may become weak or stretch toward the light, so supplementing with grow lights can be beneficial if natural light is limited.
Watering
Cacti are drought-tolerant and need infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially in winter when their growth slows. In the warmer months, water every 2-4 weeks, adjusting based on the climate and how quickly the soil dries. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it’s crucial to err on the side of underwatering.
Soil and Repotting
Cacti prefer well-draining soil that prevents water from pooling around their roots. When repotting, use our premium succulent and cactus potting mix, which offers excellent drainage and supports healthy root growth. Repot your cactus every 2-3 years or if you notice it’s becoming root-bound.
Cactus Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Yellowing or Soft Spots: This may indicate overwatering or root rot. Remove affected parts and reduce watering frequency.
- Wrinkled or Shrunken Appearance: This is usually a sign of underwatering. Water the cactus thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain out.
- Leggy or Stretched Growth: Insufficient sunlight can cause cacti to stretch toward light sources. Move your cactus to a brighter spot or add grow lights if natural light is limited.
- Pests: Mealybugs and spider mites are common cactus pests. Gently remove them with a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol or use an insecticidal soap.
