How do you care for a cactus? Watering frequency should be adjusted according to the season

The cactus is a very easy houseplant and is very low-maintenance to grow, but cacti also need water, so how do you water a cactus? Below, let's look at cactus care methods: watering frequency depends on the season.

Spring and autumn

Usually water once every two weeks, because in spring the weather is clear and the climate is warm, but the moisture content in the air is still not low. The cactus can absorb moisture and nutrients from the air through its leaves (spines), so watering once every two weeks is enough; too much will drown it.

Summer

In summer the weather is hot, the climate is dry, and there is less moisture in the air, so generally water once a week. Where the climate is very dry, water once every 5-6 days. If it is a potted cactus in an office and grows in an air-conditioned environment, it is best to water once about every 10 days.

Winter

The weather is cold and the air is filled with fog, so at this time the cactus is not short of water, but the soil will still lose moisture through evaporation. To ensure the roots have enough water, generally water once every 2 months; watering twice in a winter is about enough. Special reminder: in winter, pay attention to keeping the cactus warm and protecting it from the cold. It is a plant that fears cold but not heat!
