Caring For Your Cacti & Succulents

Despite the wide variety of shapes, succulents and cacti are remarkably consistent in their needs. They evolved in the dry areas of the world and their general requirements are related to this habitat- well-drained compost, sunshine, fresh air, water in the growing season and cold and dry resting period.

Temperature

Average warmth from spring to autumn. Keep cool in winter 50-55°F is ideal, but no harm will occur at 40°F. The hairy cacti needs a minimum of 60°F in winter.

Light

A windowsill is the right spot, as sunshine is vital. Choose a south-facing window if you can, but some shade in summer may be necessary for some varieties.

Water

Treat as an ordinary houseplant from spring to autumn, watering thoroughly when the soil begins to dry out. Fertilize once a month. Use a fertilizer that is more specific for cacti and succulents. In winter water very infrequently, once every 1-2 months and do not fertilize. Use tepid water.

Repotting

Only repot when essential. Use a shallow pot rather than a deep one because their root systems tend to be shallow.

How To Make a Desert Cactus Bloom

About half of the cacti varieties can be expected to flower indoors by the time they are three or four years old. They will continue to bloom each year as spring is the usual flowering season. The secret lies in the fact that most cactus will only flower on new growth. This calls for summer care and winter “neglect”. Flowering is also stimulated when the plant is slightly pot-bound, meaning a smaller pot forces the plant to grow up and out versus into it’s larger pot.
