Cacti are unique and low-maintenance plants known for their striking and often spiky appearance. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from tall columnar species to round, globular forms. Cacti are well-suited to indoor environments and make excellent additions to any home or office.
Light Needs: Cacti thrive in bright, direct sunlight. Place your cactus near a south or west-facing window where it can receive at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. If growing indoors, ensure they get as much natural light as possible or supplement with a grow light.
Water Needs: Cacti are adapted to arid environments and prefer infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during the winter months when they enter dormancy. When watering, thoroughly soak the soil and then allow excess water to drain away.
Humidity Needs: Cacti are tolerant of low humidity levels and do not require additional humidity. In fact, they prefer dry air and well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Avoid misting your cactus as this can lead to fungal issues.
