Cacti are round and plump, and although they have spines, they do not hinder people's fondness for them. Moreover, well-cared-for cacti can even bloom! Therefore, today, I will tell you how to care for cacti.
If we talk about easy-to-care-for plants, cacti naturally rank at the top. Although they don't have the bright appearance of other plants, if they are placed in an exquisite pot and then placed on a table, the effect is also great.
There are many varieties of cacti, and we can decide based on where you want to keep them. Some cacti have longer, thicker, and denser spines than others, with the most typical being the golden barrel cactus, which has a yellow-green color overall. There are also typical green ones, whose spines are relatively smaller. In general, they are all viable, and you just need to choose one according to your personal preference!
Cacti are typical tropical plants, so the most important thing to pay attention to during their care is watering. Keep in mind that cacti contain some water inside, and when they are short of water, they will maintain their growth by consuming the water in their bodies. If watered too much, it is easy for the roots to rot, especially for newly planted cacti, it's best not to water them and just spray a few times with a spray bottle. However, don't go too long without watering, or you will see shriveled balls.

Also, when watering, be careful not to pour water on the cacti! So, when repotting, don't choose too small a pot, as it is not convenient for watering and can easily hurt your hands.
In the process of cacti growth, what they can't do without is sunlight. However, in the high-temperature conditions of summer, they will grow very slowly and gradually enter a dormant state, so we should try to keep them away from direct sunlight at noon. Winter is also a time when they can tolerate drought but are not cold-resistant. If you accidentally leave them on the balcony, they will freeze to death.
If you want cacti to bloom, in addition to a suitable growing environment, proper fertilization can also play a good role. However, it's best to fertilize during the growing seasons of spring and autumn, as using fertilizer in the summer and winter can burn the plant.
