Care tips:

Location: Place cacti close to the window; they need a maximum amount of sunlight. Temperature: Anything goes, as long as they are protected from frost. Watering: During the growth period (spring to autumn), water cacti abundantly, until water runs out of the pot. Don’t leave water standing in the pot or saucer, and wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again. Cacti can (and will) start to rot when you overwater. April - October: For a cactus plant in a pot with a diameter of <5 cm, water every 3 to 8 days, depending on temperature and sun exposure. For pots with a diameter of >30 cm, water every 10 to 20 days. November - March: Water less than in summer. For a cactus plant in a pot with a diameter of <5 cm, give a small cup of water every 1 to 2 weeks, depending on temperature. For pots with a diameter of >30 cm, give a litre of water every 2 to 4 weeks. Most cacti don’t need fertilizer. During the growth period, however, you can add liquid fertilizer every two to four weeks when watering.
