About the Cactus Plant

While each type of cactus has its unique origin, most originate from arid, desert-like regions.

Typically Cacti aren't air-purifying plants. Bummer.

To be safe, we'll say they're toxic. It's important to research the specific type of cactus you're bringing into your home, as many varieties can be toxic if ingested, though some aren't.

Caring for a Cactus Plant

For the most part, cacti require very little water. However, keep in mind that these amigos spend their time in the sun, therefore be consistent with their watering schedule. Make sure the soil is dry between waterings, this will prevent root rotting.

They loovee the light! All we can say is: sun, sun, sun! Though beware as even cacti can burn, so if you notice your cactus turning yellow or brown on the side facing the sun, you might need to temporarily place it in a shadier spot. A south facing window is ideal for this amigo.

Feed your cactus 2-3 times a year during its active growth seasons in summer, fall, and spring. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months, and be cautious not to overfeed, as this can harm your plant.

Repot your cactus every 2-3 years into a slightly larger pot to accommodate its growth. If you notice roots protruding from the bottom of the container, it's a sign that your cactus is becoming root-bound and in need of repotting.

When pruning your cactus, ensure tools are sharp and clean, and avoid cutting into the main stem. Pruning can encourage flowering in some cactus species, as it redirects energy to flower production. However, be cautious not to over-prune, as this may delay or inhibit flowering.

Cactus Plant SOS

Prominent brown spots surrounded by brown rims indicate rotting in your cactus. Remove affected parts promptly to prevent further spread. Overwatering is a common cause of root rot in cacti, so be cautious with watering to keep your cactus happy!
