Flowering Cactus Light:

Cacti typically thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Place them in a south- or west-facing window for optimal light exposure. If growing outdoors, choose a location with plenty of sunlight.

Flowering Cactus Temperature:

Most cacti prefer warm temperatures. Keep them in an environment with daytime temperatures between 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C) and cooler temperatures at night. Protect them from frost during winter.

Flowering Cactus Soil:

Use a well-draining cactus mix. Good drainage is crucial to prevent waterlogged soil, which can lead to root rot.

Flowering Cactus Watering:

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially during the dormant period (usually in winter). Overwatering is a common issue with cacti, so err on the side of underwatering.

Flowering Cactus Container:

If growing in a container, ensure it has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation. Use a container that allows for airflow around the roots.

Flowering Cactus Fertilization:

Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced cactus fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant period.

Flowering Cactus Pruning:

Trim off dead or damaged parts using sterilized tools. Be cautious of spines when handling the cactus.

Flowering Cactus Pests:

Keep an eye out for common cactus pests like spider mites and scale insects. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Flowering Cactus Repotting:

Repot cacti every 2-3 years or when they outgrow their containers. Use fresh, well-draining soil and handle the roots with care.

Flowering Cactus Caution:

Mind the spines! Cactus spines can be sharp and potentially cause injury. Handle cacti carefully, and consider using gloves.
