Soil for growing cactus

Cactus requires soil with good drainage and air permeability, and sandy soil is the best choice for cultivation.

Humidity for growing cactus

It is best to grow cactus in a dry environment. It is afraid of waterlogging but is drought-resistant. Therefore, potted cacti can be watered less frequently. It is best to choose water that has been dried in the sun for watering, and be careful to water the cactus thoroughly.

Cactus likes a high temperature and dry growing environment, so the room temperature should be kept above 20℃ during the day in winter. The temperature at night can be relatively lower, but there should not be a large temperature difference. The temperature should be kept above 10℃, otherwise the temperature will be too low and will cause root rot.

Cactus cultivation requires plenty of sunlight, but it is best not to expose it to strong light in the summer. Although cactus is drought-resistant, there is still a difference in resistance between cultivated cactus and cactus in the desert. Appropriate shade should be provided during cultivation, and light exposure is conducive to the healthy growth of cactus.
