Sunlight>>>>>>>>>>
Due to the relationship with the place of origin, cacti and succulents have a high demand for sunlight.
At least 3 to 4 hours of sunlight. Having more than 6 hours can promote better growth of the plant. In comparison, cacti require more sunlight, while succulents relatively less. However, too much intense sunlight can easily cause sunburn and may even lead to plant death.
Optimal temperature>>>>>>>>>>
For most cacti, a daytime temperature of 25~30 degrees and a nighttime temperature of 15~18 degrees are ideal. The temperature required for the growth of succulents is slightly lower. Basically, within the range of 5~40 degrees, controlling the relationship between dormancy period and water is not a big issue. Therefore, in cold winters, it is best to overwinter indoors if conditions allow.
Watering>>>>>>>>>>>>
Basically maintain once every 1~2 weeks, and for dormant plants in summer and winter, water control is appropriate according to local temperatures, even to the point of cutting off water. For plants with good root systems and rapid growth stages, the watering frequency can be increased. Water thoroughly and ensure proper ventilation.
Repotting>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Basically repot once every 1~2 years, remove the aging roots, dry them thoroughly, and replace them with fresh planting materials. Cactus plants should be repotted in spring, and succulent plants in autumn, generally after the dormancy period and before the growing period, which is the best time for repotting.
