Many people tend to believe that cacti and succulents are too difficult to care for, deterring them from even purchasing these plants. Interestingly, the problem often lies in the fact that people tend to overcare for them. In reality, cacti and succulents thrive under conditions that would be considered neglect for other plants.
The most common issue people face with cacti and succulents is overwatering. These 'water-storing' plants actually do better with less water than more. Since every situation is different, there is no set time interval for when to water cacti and succulents, as various factors such as humidity, light, and temperature play a role in the timing.
The general rule of thumb is to water cacti and succulents thoroughly and allow them to dry out completely between waterings. It's important to note that we cannot ship this item to CA, FL, or Hawaii.
The purchase includes a collection of five different varieties of succulents, each planted in a 2-inch square pot with fully rooted soil.
For cacti during the summer, the watering needs are generous, allowing the soil medium to dry out between waterings. In the winter, the watering frequency should be reduced to every other month. As for succulents, they should be watered thoroughly once a week during the summer and every 2-3 weeks in the winter.
Regarding fertilizing needs, cacti should be fertilized during the summer with a cactus-specific fertilizer, but should not be fed during the winter. Succulents, on the other hand, should be fed with a controlled-release fertilizer at the beginning of the season or with a weak liquid solution on a weekly basis.
It's crucial to use well-drained soil for both cacti and succulents, as regular potting soil or dirt won't suffice. A cactus soil mix or a combination of potting soil, sand, pumice, and perlite should be used. These plants require approximately 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, and it's important to gradually increase their exposure to more sunlight.
