When should I start watering my cactus?
Spring and summer
- From April onwards water cacti and succulents freely, allowing excess water to drain away.
- The compost should be allowed to dry out slightly between waterings, rather than keeping it constantly moist.
- Forest-growing epiphytes will benefit from a humid atmosphere.
What happens if you don't water a cactus?
Cactus plants actually hoard moisture in their plant cells so they have some water during extremely dry, drought-like conditions. They are remarkably tolerant to water neglect but certain signs in the leaves, pads, or stems will indicate that the plant is becoming stressed due to a lack of moisture.
How many times a year do cactus bloom?
While some cacti plants bloom at a relatively younger age, others won't flower until they are at least 30 years old. So, how often does a cactus flower bloom? Typically, cacti plants bloom at least once a year, although wetter years may lead to more flowering periods.
How can I make my cactus bloom?
Fertilize cacti only in the spring and early summer, using a cactus-specific fertilizer or a highly diluted fertilizer lower in nitrogen and higher in phosphorus and potassium. Overfeeding will not make your cactus bloom! Repot your cactus using a potting mix designed for cacti and succulents.
How often should a Christmas cactus be watered?
every 2-3 weeks
