1. Water only during growing season (for most cacti that means when its hot)
2. Water DEEPLY until water runs out of the pot
3. Wait for soil to dry out completely before watering again

Thanks so much for posting this. I've been looking for another cacti exclusive channel, hopefully this is one. I have found that if I do not water in the dormant season at all the cacti lose their roots and I have lost cacti due to lack of water. I have a Rebutia that I'm trying to save cause I gave her no water this past winter. They need about 1/3 of the water they get in the growing season. If they start looking like they are starved for water, they need a sip to get them through the season.

When ever you grow cacti and they don't die you are doing it right. To get them to bloom, try using tomato fertilizer, on them. They'll go crazy. Good luck GF1 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😎

Leaving roots dry for too long when they’re not in growing season can make them rot away also. If you’re not sure about watering I would use a heavy gritty soil. Lots of lava rock, perlite stuff like that. Trial and error is also a great teaching guide.

Very detailed info. In it's natural habitat, cacti will get watered by the dew of the morning pretty much daily, in some seasons more dew than others of course. But yes the soil would be dry for months until it rains again. At least here in South Cali we get little rain a year, you can count w your fingers probably! So all these grow very in landscaping. Just gotta keep a desert like mentality ( for cacti) Doesn't have to be the dryest nor hottest either, you get my idea. 😆 Thanks again for the thorough video👍🌵💚

@RareCactus 5 жыл бұрын

They are extremely important when it comes to growing succulents. You can certainly have a cactus in a pot with no holes for a while, but it will not thrive since their roots need good drainage and especially lots of oxygen to prevent rot.

It's mid September I'm a bit confused how how much water or frequency I should give it water please HELP. LOL

@newmanmansell760 Жыл бұрын

Great tips👌😌I water the same except I water when the weather is rainy because that is when the temperature cools down and the cacti can take up more water efficiently🙏If I water before a sunny day the soil dries too fast and the temperature rises so the process of water uptake is inhibited. At times I will water a cacti that is very dehydrated twice; once and the next day again. That brings them to life after the extreme hot midsummer. I tend not to water in midsummer because it is over 37℃ / 98.6°F and most cacti just slow down. Anyway, thanks for sharing🤲✨And I am enjoying your content
