Cacti belong to the succulent plants and are actually very easy to raise. They are not only drought-resistant and drought-tolerant but can also adapt well to poor soil. As long as they are given soil, they can survive well. Moreover, it seems that from some point in time, cacti have become popular in a minimalist home circle and have been sought after by many flower enthusiasts. So today, let's talk about how to care for cacti.
1. Watering
As we all know, cacti live in deserts, so they are drought-resistant with strong water absorption. Therefore, when watering cacti, be careful not to pour too much water, and do not let water accumulate, as this can lead to rotting of the cactus roots and cause the whole plant to die. Hence, it is important to control the water and the watering frequency, and water moderately to avoid making the soil too moist.
2. Light
Cacti are most suited to environments with plenty of sunshine, with the optimal growth temperature between 20-31 degrees Celsius. Although cacti live in desert areas, it is also important to note that the temperature should not be too high and avoid direct sunlight, as this may affect the growth rate of the cacti. It is best to place them in a sunny location with a temperature not exceeding 35 degrees and good ventilation. In winter, if the temperature drops below 5 degrees, remember to move it indoors to avoid exposure to frosty conditions and keep it warm.

3. Soil
Cacti, with their strong adaptability, do not have high requirements for soil. Any soil can be used for planting, but to ensure they thrive at home, it is necessary to provide them with loose and well-draining soil. Their roots are very susceptible to oxygen deprivation and excessive moisture. Using soil that easily becomes compacted can lead to waterlogging and cause root rot in cacti. Well-draining soil allows them to root quickly. A mix of half-rotten leaf soil and half-particle soil is suitable, creating a loose and well-draining soil that is perfect for cactus growth.
4. Fertilizer
When it comes to fertilizing cacti, it is best to use a nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium compound fertilizer, which can meet their nutritional needs during the growing period. Their growing season is in spring and autumn, while they are dormant in summer and winter. Fertilizing cacti should be based on the plant's growth and the season. During the growing period, fertilize every half month. No fertilization is needed during summer and winter to avoid fertilizer damage that could lead to death. In spring, as the temperature gradually rises, fertilize 3-4 times, and in autumn, as the temperature gradually drops, it is best not to exceed three times. More fertilization can be applied during the blooming period to promote cactus flowering.
