1. Temperature
Cacti naturally prefer high temperatures and dry environments. Too low a temperature easily causes root rot, but too high a temperature also makes them prone to mealybug damage.
2. Light
Cacti require plenty of sunlight, but in summer they must not be exposed to strong direct sun and need appropriate shading. For indoor cultivation, artificial light can be used to help them grow robustly.
3. Soil
Cacti are suited to growing in well-drained sandy loam soil. For indoor cultivation, artificial potting soil is often used, usually prepared by mixing half peat soil and half fine sand; crushed pine needles mixed with fine sand can also be used as a prepared potting soil for planting.
4. Watering
Cacti require a dry environment and are afraid of water accumulating in the pot soil, which causes root rot. It is best to water with water that has been left to stand.
5. Fertilizing
When changing the pot and soil for a cactus, apply a small amount of base fertilizer at the bottom of the pot. During the growing season, water with fermented organic liquid fertilizer once every half month, and be sure not to make the fertilizer concentration too high.
