Among the assortment of house plants, the cactus is high on the sought-after list and it\u2019s easy to understand why. These peculiar-looking succulents come in all shapes and sizes with varying styles of thorns covering them. Some even boast brightly coloured flowers. That said, do you know<\/span> how to take care of a cactus<\/span>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Although cacti are known for their hardiness and longevity, they require the right amount of care and love, so they can live happy and healthy lives! Whether you\u2019re a seasoned cactus parent or have just gotten your first prickly companion, here are some useful tips to go by when caring for your cactus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Take Care Of Your Cactus<\/span>: What You Should Do\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Do Make Sure They Get Enough Sunlight<\/span><\/h3>\n

How to properly take care of cactus<\/span> plants starts with this important step: give them enough sunlight! Like <\/span>honey<\/span><\/a> to a bee, <\/span>cacti<\/span><\/a> love the sun. After all, they\u2019ve adapted to live in the desert where there\u2019s hardly any shade. <\/span>Generally, cacti do well with at least six hours of daily sunlight.<\/b> However, do note that long hours of direct sunlight can damage them, so it\u2019s advisable to put them in bright-indirect sunlight areas like a window with a sheer <\/span>curtain<\/span><\/a> over it or a well-lit work <\/span>desk<\/span><\/a>. Alternatively, you can shadow them under taller <\/span>plants<\/span><\/a> before exposing them to more direct sunlight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Plant Them In Well-Draining Soil<\/span><\/h3>\n

The camel of plants, cacti store moisture in their stems to tide through long droughts. Because of that, their roots don\u2019t respond well to constant moisture. Thus, <\/span>how to take care of a cactus<\/span>\u2019 stems involves using well-draining <\/span>soil<\/span><\/a>. You have the choice of buying ready-made <\/span>cactus potting soil<\/span><\/a> or making your own, which is fun and easy with just a handful of materials you can easily find in your <\/span>garden<\/span><\/a>. A simple mixture consisting of <\/span>sand<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>perlite<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>normal soil<\/span><\/a> will do the trick.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Use Pots With Proper Drainage\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

This ties in with the previous point of <\/span>how to take care of your cactus<\/span>\u2019 soil base. As moisture trickles through the soil, there should be drainage holes at the bottom of the <\/span>pot<\/span><\/a> for excess water to escape, preventing waterlogged soil from occurring.\u00a0 If your pot doesn\u2019t have holes, you can poke a few using a <\/span>drill<\/span><\/a>. In terms of materials, <\/span>terracotta<\/span><\/a> pots are great for indicating soil moisture as they turn a darker shade when there\u2019s too much moisture present. If you\u2019d prefer a pot that adds elegance to your home, a <\/span>Nordic ceramic option<\/span><\/a> will fit right in with the rest of your <\/span>furniture<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do Water Them\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yes, despite their barren heritage, you still need to water your cacti! There\u2019s no set watering schedule as different specifications\u2014such as the size of the cactus, the type of pot, and humidity\u2014all determine how much water these <\/span>succulents<\/span><\/a> need. As a general rule of thumb,<\/span> if the soil is dry and your cacti are losing their vibrant colour, it\u2019s time to hydrate them.<\/b><\/p>\n

You can check the soil at the bottom of the pot for dryness in a few ways. For example, gently push a <\/span>bamboo stick<\/span><\/a> to the bottom of the soil mixture and leave it for a few minutes. Take it out and examine if the stick is moist or dry. Alternatively, use your finger to poke into the top few inches of the soil. If the soil sticks to your fingers, it\u2019s likely still moist and doesn\u2019t require hydration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Take Care Of Your Cactus<\/span>: What You Shouldn\u2019t Do<\/span><\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t Mist Them<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unlike their leafy cousins, cacti aren\u2019t exactly keen on spray showers. How you should take care of them is by watering the soil, not the plant. This is because misting can spawn mould in between the leaves and thorns, which can cause the cactus to wither. When it\u2019s time for watering, place them under a <\/span>sink<\/span><\/a> faucet<\/span><\/a> to get the soil thoroughly soaked until water is running through the holes at the bottom of the pot. So, ditch the <\/span>spray bottle<\/span><\/a> and tackle the soil the next time!<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Fertilise Them Too Often<\/span><\/h3>\n

Fertilisers<\/span><\/a> provide essential nutrients crucial for a plant\u2019s growth. Similarly, fertilising helps your cacti adapt quickly to their new environment. Besides, it also encourages brighter colours and <\/span>flowers<\/span><\/a> to bloom. However, they don\u2019t require as much fertilising as one or two rounds of fertilising a year should be enough. When shopping for fertilisers, ensure that the mixture is low on nitrogen but high in phosphorus. These two components are crucial to help your cacti maintain their striking good looks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
