Succulents and cacti are low maintenance, water wise plants that store water in their leaves, stems or roots. There are general rules for succulent and cactus plant care. Water – Water thoroughly once a week during active growth period. Overwatering can cause cacti to rot. Allow soil to dry between waterings. Light – Place plant in a brightly lit south facing window indoors or an area with bright, indirect light outdoors. Some plants can tolerate full sun, but must be gradually acclimated to prevent sunburn. If the light source is inadequate, etiolation will occur and your plant will become leggy as it stretches out towards a light source. Soil – Succulents and cacti like soil that is well aerated and fast draining. Perlite or pumice mixed with soil work well for this, or you can use cactus/succulent mix as medium for your cacti.
