With over 25 years of growing plants from around the world, I've learned a thing or two about keeping cacti happy.
Basic Care Tips:
Light: Most cacti need 4-6 hours of direct sunlight. South-facing windows are ideal.
Water: Less is more! Water thoroughly but allow soil to dry completely between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to once a month.
Soil: Use well-draining cactus mix. Never let your cactus sit in water.
Temperature: Most cacti prefer 65-85°F during growing season. Some can tolerate light frost.
Common Mistakes: - Overwatering (the #1 killer!) - Not enough light - Using regular potting soil
