We’re finally pulling up our boot straps, putting on our hardiest gardening gloves and getting pricked by cacti 🌵
Cacti are incredibly low maintenance and sun-loving plants. While we still have A LOT to learn about the ins and outs of cacti care, we’re excited to add these spiky ones into our plant mix.
There are 2 types of cactus: desert and forest one. Desert cacti are most likely to survive harsh conditions as they have spines to support them. Forest cacti like Blue Candle or Christmas cactus are spineless, which makes them more suitable to be grown indoors.
☀️ Outdoor cacti: 4-6 hours of daily sunlight
☀️Indoor cacti: 10-14 hrs of daily bright light
Place cacti in southeast facing windows is best.
💧 Depending on the size of your cactus, the type of pot it’s in, daily temperature, and the daily lighting it’s getting, deep waterings should happen every week to every few weeks. Cacti are quite tolerant of water neglect. Wait til the soil is completely dry and then some to give them a good drink.
Cacti store water inside themselves. They can survive up to 1-2 years without water. So, to forgetful plant parents, you and cacti are a match made in the driest parts of heaven!
