How to do cuddly cactus care?

The best way to care and grow has many factors for growing healthy and bright, those ingredients below-

  • Light: Cuddly Cactus need plenty of bright light in order to grow, so make sure to place them near a sunny window. If you don’t have a spot that gets enough natural light, you can supplement with grow lights. Just be sure not to put your cactus in direct sunlight, as this can cause it to sunburn.
  • Water: One of the most common mistakes people make when watering their cactus is overwatering. Like Cacti, Cuddly Cactus is a type of succulent, which means they store water in their leaves and stems. As a general rule of thumb, you should only water your cactus once every two weeks or so. Be sure to check the soil before watering; if it’s still moist from the last watering, then wait a few more days before watering again. And when you do water, soak the soil completely and then allow it to drain fully. Never let your cactus sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.
  • Soil: Cacti need well-draining soil in order to thrive. If your pot doesn’t have drainage holes, be sure to add some rocks or gravel to the bottom before adding the potting mix. This will help ensure that excess water can escape and won’t pool around the roots of your plant.
  • fertilizer: Typically in this plant fertilizer is not much necessary, but for better growth, you only need to fertilize your cactus once every month or so; too much fertilizer can actually harm the plant. When fertilizing, be sure to use a diluted solution of half-strength liquid fertilizer specifically designed for succulents or cacti. Whether you use organic or synthetic fertilizer is up to you; just be sure not to overdo it!
