Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Most cacti prefer bright light and can tolerate some direct sunlight. South-facing windowsills are generally ideal for these plants.
  
• Watering💧
  Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, allowing excess water to drain away.
  Cacti go dormant in winter. Reduce watering significantly (every 4-6 weeks for some types) during this period to avoid rot.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  If possible, use tepid rainwater instead of tap water to avoid a buildup of minerals in the soil.
  
• Humidity💦
  Most cacti thrive in low humidity, similar to their desert habitats. Avoid misting the leaves.
  Ensure good air circulation, especially in humid environments, to prevent fungal issues.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Most cacti prefer warm conditions during the growing season 18-28°C.
  Many cacti benefit from a cooler, drier rest period during winter around 10°C to encourage flowering.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Feed monthly during the spring and summer (April-September) with a specialised cacti or high-potassium fertiliser.
  
• Additional Care➕
  If a cactus becomes leggy due to insufficient light, you can prune it back and use the cuttings to start new plants.
  Repotting is usually needed only every 2-4 years or when the plant becomes pot-bound.Many cacti produce offsets or pups at the base. Gently remove these and allow the cut end to callus before planting them in moist soil.
