How To Care:
Light - Place flowering cacti in a south or west-facing window to provide the direct sunlight they require. On average, cacti need six to eight hours of full sunlight per day.
In winter, most flowering cacti need a rest period, called dormancy, to redirect energy from growth into bud production. Less sunlight is required during this time.
Soil - Cacti requires, well-draining potting mix. Perlite, pumice, thermocol can be added in the potting mix. Cacti requires very small amount of fertilizers.
Water - Cacti require water to bloom, even if they are drought tolerant. Water your cactus when the soil has completely dried out. Water thoroughly until the water runs out the pot’s drain holes.
