How often to water a cactus

1. Watering frequency

The watering time intervals are different when maintenance is carried out in different seasons. Spring and autumn are its peak growth periods, and it is necessary to ensure that there is sufficient water. It is recommended that you water it once a week, only in this way will it grow faster. If it is grown outdoors, you can water it more frequently because the water in the potting soil will evaporate a little faster. As long as there is no water accumulation in the potting soil, it will be fine.

In summer, water control is necessary because the moisture deep in the potting soil is difficult to evaporate. Do not continue watering after the surface soil is dry, as this will easily cause water accumulation. The climate is cold in winter, and the evaporation of water will slow down, so the watering frequency needs to be extended, and it can be watered once every 1-2 months.

2. Watering method

When watering the potting soil, try to water it thoroughly and avoid stopping watering halfway. The soil should be kept slightly moist without water accumulation. During the rainy season, you should pay attention to sheltering from rain and keep the soil dry. During normal breeding period, you should turn the soil properly to allow the soil to absorb water better. In addition, the watering time varies greatly in different seasons. You can water at any time in spring and autumn, but in summer you should try to water in the morning, and in winter you should water in the warm noon.
