Cactus care tips

Light: Cacti do best in an area that gets lots of bright sunlight (4-6 hours). They will be happy as a windowsill plant or in a bright room. During the summer months you can place your cactus outside and let it enjoy the sun, just make sure to bring it in when it is going to be cooler that 50 degrees at night. 

Watering: Water your cacti when the soil feels completely dry. When you water, do so thoroughly until the water drains out of the pot. You should cut back how much you water in the winter months 

Soil: Plant in cacti mix.

Succulent care tips

Light: Succulents need plenty of bright sunlight to grow happy and healthy. A sign that your succulent is not getting enough light is “stretching” where the plant is searching for light. Proper light will also help keep the coloring bright.

Watering: Water more, less often. Succulents like to have their soil soaked and then dry out before watering again. 

Soil: Well-drained soil is essential. Either a succulent/cacti soil, or a well-draining potting soil with perlite added is best.
