DOs for Cactus Care:
- Provide Adequate Sunlight: Place your cactus in a location where it can receive plenty of sunlight, preferably in a south-facing window or a spot with direct sunlight for several hours a day.
- Water Sparingly: Cacti are drought-tolerant plants, so water only when the soil is completely dry. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Use Well-Draining Soil: Plant your cactus in a well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for cacti and succulents to ensure proper drainage and prevent waterlogging.
- Monitor Temperature: Cacti thrive in warm temperatures but can tolerate some fluctuations. Protect them from extreme cold or frost, especially during the winter months.
- Provide Adequate Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation around your cactus to prevent moisture buildup and fungal issues. Avoid placing them in overly humid environments.
DON’Ts for Cactus Care:
- Overwater: Avoid overwatering your cactus as it can lead to root rot and other fungal diseases. Stick to a watering schedule based on the plant’s needs and environmental conditions.
- Expose to Cold Drafts: Keep your cactus away from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes, especially during the winter months. Exposure to cold drafts can damage the plant and cause it to wilt.
- Plant in Regular Potting Soil: Avoid using regular potting soil for your cactus, as it retains too much moisture. Opt for a well-draining cactus mix or add perlite or sand to improve drainage.
- Place in Low-Light Conditions: While cacti can tolerate some shade, prolonged low-light conditions can weaken the plant and inhibit growth. Ensure they receive adequate sunlight for optimal health.
- Handle Roughly: Avoid handling your cactus roughly or touching the spines with bare hands. Use gloves or a folded piece of newspaper when handling to protect yourself from injury.
