Indoor Cactus Plant Care

Question

What type of soil and how often to water

Answer 1

Generally, cacti need gritty, well-draining soil. You can buy succulent and cacti mix or make your own with one part potting mix to one part sand or perlite. Water regularly during the growing season but let the soil dry out between waterings. In winter, only water about once a month. These articles should help:
