Caring for Rooted CactiUpdated 3 months ago
Step 1: Inspect Your Plant
A little stress after shipping is normal. Small marks will heal over time.
If there is significant damage, refer to our Happiness Guarantee Policy.
Step 2: Select the Right Soil
Use well-draining soil with sand, perlite, or pumice to avoid excess moisture.
A wide, shallow pot with drainage holes is best for most cacti.
Step 3: Planting the Cactus
When repotting, ensure the roots are covered with soil but do not bury the stem.
Step 4: Watering
After planting, wait 5-7 days before watering to prevent root rot.
Instead of following a strict schedule, water your cactus only when it needs it. Check the soil—if it is completely dry and the cactus looks slightly shriveled, it’s time to water.
Always allow the soil to dry completely before watering again.
Step 5: Sunlight
Cacti need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
If transitioning from indoors to outdoors, gradually increase sun exposure over 1-2 weeks.
Step 6: Temperature & Humidity
Keep your cactus in a warm environment (65°F-85°F).
Avoid humid areas, as cacti prefer dry conditions.
