Meet the Cactus

Cacti are hardy, low-maintenance plants that thrive in bright, sunny environments. They are known for their unique shapes and textures, making them popular for adding a touch of the desert to indoor spaces. With their ability to store water, cacti can go for extended periods without watering, making them ideal for busy individuals or those new to plant care.

Light

Cacti can grow indoors and outdoors as long as they are getting enough sunlight. Cacti thrive in bright light to full sunlight!

Water

The rule of thumb is to water cacti when the soil is dry. Do not water if the soil is still moist or wet.

Humidity

Cactus plants thrive in low humidity environments, ideally between 10-30%. Keep them in a well-ventilated area with minimal moisture to prevent rot and ensure healthy growth.

   Common Problems Q&A

Why are my leaves shriveling up and wrinkling?

Although Cacti do not need much water they still need some water. So don't forget to water your plant soon after the soil has completely dried out.

Why are there grey scab-like marks on my plant?

Although this may look worrisome, its most likely nothing to be afraid of! You may have noticed some scabbing on produce like tomatoes & cucumbers. Make sure you are not overwatering your plant and keep it away from any drafts, especially in the winter.
