Sun Seekers & Seasonal Twists:
Bright, Indirect Light is Key: Think south-facing windows or sunny patios, but avoid harsh afternoon sun.
Winter Nap Adjustments: Cacti need less light in cooler months. Adjust their position or consider supplemental lighting if needed.
Watering Warriors:
Drought Dodgers: Remember, cacti store water! Let the soil dry completely between waterings, then soak them thoroughly until water drains freely.
Winter Slumber: Water even less frequently during dormancy to avoid stress. They’re simply recharging!
Pot Power & Repotting Rhythms:
Drainage Detectives: Choose pots with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Terracotta is ideal for letting excess moisture evaporate.
Growing Up: Repot every 2-3 years into a slightly larger pot with fresh, fast-draining cactus mix to keep roots happy.
Bonus Tips & Troubleshooting:
Rotate for even growth.
Clean spines gently.
Watch out for common pests.
Research your specific species for tailored care.
