How to Water a Cactus Ball? Latest Method Explained in Detail

Cactus balls like sunlight and are not afraid of dryness, so in spring and summer they should be watered once a month. In winter, water once every 2-3 months. Note that when watering, you must water thoroughly. Repotting should be done in spring. A newly repotted cactus ball must not be watered immediately; it should be watered only after 1 week. Cactus ball care tips:

Grow it in a clay pot or place a layer of clay shards inside the pot to give the roots more room to breathe, so root rot is less likely; if you really cannot find clay shards, you will have to drill holes around the pot for ventilation, so the cactus ball will not rot easily.

Cultivate it in sandy loam soil, and apply fertilizer once every twenty days, continuing until early October.

The principle of watering is not to water when dry, but water thoroughly when you do; do not water too much, and do not go a long time without watering either.

During winter, the cactus ball should be kept indoors at above 12 degrees.

The cactus ball is a light-loving plant, so let it bask in the sun as much as possible; going without sunlight for a long time is not acceptable.
