Cactus Plant Care

Light: Place your assorted cactus plants in bright, direct sunlight for a few hours each day. They need plenty of light to thrive. A south or west-facing window is ideal. Rotate the pots regularly to ensure even growth.

Temperature: Maintain a warm indoor environment with temperatures between 70-100°F (21-38°C) during the growing season. These plants can tolerate some temperature fluctuations, but protect them from cold drafts, especially in the winter.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, and ensure that the pots have excellent drainage to prevent waterlogged soil. In the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, but reduce watering in the dormant season (fall and winter).

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.

Pot: Ensure the pots have drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the root level. Cacti thrive in slightly crowded conditions and do not require frequent repotting.

Fertilization: Feed your cacti sparingly. Use a balanced, water-soluble cactus or succulent fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can harm the plants.

Pests: Assorted cactus plants are generally pest-resistant, but occasionally, spider mites or scale insects may appear. Inspect your plants regularly and treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Succulent Plant Care

Light: Succulents thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Place them near a sunny window with filtered sunlight or in a spot with plenty of natural light. Some succulents can tolerate direct sunlight, but be cautious about intense afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. The frequency of watering depends on factors like the type of succulent, pot size, and environmental conditions. Typically, water once every 2-4 weeks, but adjust as needed. Water the soil directly and avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can lead to rot.

Soil: Use well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti. You can also add perlite or coarse sand to regular potting soil to improve drainage. Ensure that the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogged roots.

Temperature: Succulents prefer a temperature range of 60-80°F (15-27°C). They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost and extreme cold.

Fertilization: During the growing season (usually spring and summer), feed your succulents with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Fertilize sparingly, about once a month, as succulents do not require heavy feeding.

Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves and spent flower stalks to encourage healthy growth and appearance. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears for this purpose.

Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common succulent pests like mealybugs and aphids. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage to avoid this issue.

Repotting: Repot your succulents when they outgrow their containers or the soil becomes depleted of nutrients. Spring is usually the best time for repotting.
