Description
Cactus seedling care guide:
- Allow Time for Adjustment: After receiving the cactus, wait at least two to three days before planting it in dry soil. This allows the cactus to adjust to its new environment and recover from the shipping process.
- Planting: Once planted in dry soil, avoid watering the cactus for another three to five days. This gives the roots time to settle into the new soil and heal from being transplanted.
- Watering: Begin watering slowly and gradually increase the frequency. It’s important not to shock the cactus with too much water too soon.
- Fertilizing: During the active growing season, you can feed the cactus a diluted solution of cactus fertilizer or a vegetable/flower fertilizer at half strength with every watering.
