7 Incredible Tips for Keeping Cactus at Home

Producer:  Riya Ashok

For your cactus, use a pot or container that drains properly. 

Cacti grow in a mix of succulents or cacti that drains well.

The most frequent error made when taking care of cactus is overwatering. 

For cacti to flourish, they require a lot of direct, bright sunlight.

Generally speaking, cacti like temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (15°C and 27°C).

Apply a balanced, water-soluble cactus fertiliser during the growing season after diluting it by half.

Cacti don't typically need to be pruned, but you can use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut out dead or damaged stems.
