The cactus's original environment is the fairly barren soil of desert regions, so it needs plenty of light, loose and breathable soil, and, during the cactus's growing season, adequate fertilizer. The cactus will grow very quickly

Cacti like plenty of light. Apart from appropriate shading in summer, they should be given full sun in the other seasons. Once they lack light, cacti will become leggy and misshapen; only with ample sunlight will cacti grow vigorously

Cacti are fairly drought-tolerant, as we all know. Even if you do not water them for a year, they will not die; the body just becomes wilted and thin, and once watered they will keep growing. So cacti are a typical lazy person's potted plant, but do not let them lack water during the growing season. Water thoroughly once the soil has dried out completely, and the body can grow faster

Fertilizing: cacti are fairly tolerant of poor soil, but that does not mean they dislike water and fertilizer. Applying a multi-element organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer, mainly nitrogen-based, once a month can let the body store up a lot of nutrients and produce beautiful flowers. There are several hundred species of cacti, and their flowers are stunning; one look and you will never forget them

Moreover, after cacti finish flowering they will also set seed. The little red fruits hanging on the body are also very beautiful. If you grow them to this point, your cactus can be considered a great success
