Keep your Cuddly Cactus healthy and thriving with these simple care tips:
Light: Cacti thrive in bright, direct sunlight. Place them near a sunny window for optimal growth. If you're concerned about leaf scorch, you can opt for bright, indirect light.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water deeply but ensure good drainage to avoid root rot. During winter, water less frequently.
Temperature and Humidity: Ideal temperature range is 65-85°F (18-29°C). Cacti are generally tolerant of lower humidity, making them suitable for most indoor environments.
Soil and Fertilization: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Fertilize sparingly, about once every 2-3 months, during the growing season.
Pruning: Trim any dead or damaged sections to encourage healthy growth. Minimal pruning is usually required for Cuddly Cactus varieties.
Pests: Watch for common succulent pests like mealybugs and scale. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
With these easy care guidelines, your Cuddly Cactus will continue to flourish, adding a touch of softness and desert charm to your indoor space.
