Q.Cactus Rose Winter Care

Zone 44654 | nana3ingram@gmail.com added on October 22, 2020 | Answered

I’ve brought my 4″ cactus rose inside for the winter 3 wks ago. I’ve purchased a plant light to use. They’re doing very well and even have new leaf growth. Do I need to water them more while using the plant light?

This primitive cactus will be treated as most other cacti. Watering will need to be done as the soil dries out, almost completely, to the bottom of the container. You may have to measure with a meter or your finger until you get used to the routine.

Here is an article that will help you with using a moisture meter:
