How to water a cactus

1. Watering in all seasons

1. Watering in spring and autumn

During the spring and autumn periods, you only need to water it once every two weeks. Because in spring and autumn, the weather is very sunny and the climate is just right, but there is no lack of water in the air. It can rely on its own leaves to absorb water and nutrients in the air at this time, so there is no need to water it too frequently, just once every two weeks. If you water it too much, it will die.

2. Watering in summer

The temperature is high in summer, the weather is very hot, and the air is abnormally dry, so it is best to water it once a week. If the weather is very dry, it can be shortened to once every 5 to 6 days. But if your cactus is placed in an air-conditioned environment, it is best to water it once every 10 days.

3. Watering in winter

In winter, the temperature is lower and there is still a lot of fog in the air, so it does not lack water at this time, but the soil is still evaporating. In order to ensure that the roots have sufficient water, it is usually watered once every two months, and only twice throughout the winter.

2. Watering method

When watering it, just pour it directly into the soil in the pot. Never water it on its growing point, because if there is water accumulation on it, coupled with poor ventilation or sunlight, it will easily cause damage to the growing point, such as infection, sunburn, etc. If you really accidentally pour it on, you can blow it away with your mouth, but don't spray saliva, so just in case, it's better to buy an air blower.
