Cactus

Question

I would like to grow cactus outdoors in pots this summer. Please give advice to type of soil, etc.

Answer 1

Potted cactus plants require a well-drained compost mix (two parts potting soil/compost, two parts sand, and one part gravel) or a cacti-specific potting medium. They should be watered with tepid water when their soil becomes dry.
