Cactus Plant Mix Indian weather is good for cactus plants since they require less water, are resilient, and maintenance-free. Cacti indoors or outdoors will thrive with some care.

There are various types of cacti, from indoor small cacti like Bunny Ear Cactus and Jade Plant to outdoor giant cacti like Prickly Pear and Barrel Cactus. Choose one that will grow well in your zone and climate.

Sun love is the best for cacti. Outdoors in sunny hot weather in India, cacti will love full sun. When grown indoors as a house plant, place near a sunny window. Shade sun when sun becomes too hot during summer months so that they don’t sunburn.

Cacti require good drainage to avoid root rot. Use cactus mix or create your own using sand, garden soil, and compost. Plant in a pot with holes for drainage of excess water.

Cacti store water in the stems, therefore, don’t need frequent watering. Water 7-10 days per week once every summer. Water once every 2-3 weeks in the winter. Let the soil completely dry out each time before rewatering.

Dilute liquid plant fertilizer once monthly while the plant is growing (summer and spring). Never fertilize too much because this will weaken the plant.

Cacti should be grown between 15-35°C temperatures. Cacti are frost-hardy and should be shielded from frost. For tropical growth, provide air circulation around the plant so as not to cause fungal infection.

Cacti are quite pest-resistant but infested occasionally with spider mites or mealybugs. Use fungicide and pesticide during repot.

Slow-growing cacti will eventually have outgrown their pots at some point. Repot cactus every 2-3 year. Cacti can also be propagated from a cutting or an offset and dry out the cut end for a few days before potting in dry soil.
