Cactus needs sunlight, and it is not afraid of the sun. It can live in the sun for a long time and can be exposed to the sun. Not only that, as long as there is enough water and in a place with strong light, it will grow more luxuriantly.

Cactus lighting

Cactus does not have high requirements for light. It only needs normal light. It will grow better in strong light. However, if it is a newly repotted cactus, the intensity of light needs to be controlled. It cannot be exposed to too strong light for a long time to avoid excessive water loss after the plant is newly transplanted. The roots' ability to absorb water is insufficient, leading to excessive water loss or even death.

What to do if the cactus wilts in the sun

If the cactus wilts, it means that there is a lack of moisture inside its flesh. At this time, it has often reached the limit of its ability to tolerate drought. First, move it to a cool place to slow down water loss, and then combine spraying and watering to replenish it with water.
