Indoor Growing Guide
Place your cactus in the brightest position available, ideally where it receives several hours of direct sunlight each day. Water only when the compost has dried out completely, then allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering significantly during the winter months when growth naturally slows.
Grow in a free-draining cactus compost and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Avoid leaving the plant sitting in water, as prolonged wet conditions can lead to root rot.
Why We Love It
Cacti are among the easiest houseplants to grow, making them ideal for beginners and experienced plant lovers alike. Their sculptural forms look striking on their own or grouped with other succulents to create an attractive indoor display.
Good to Know
Each cactus is unique, so the variety supplied may differ from the images shown. Handle with care, as many species have sharp spines or fine barbed hairs. Rotate the pot occasionally to encourage even growth towards the light.
