Directions
Repotting: 1. Select a pot only a little larger than the cactus' current pot. One that is too big will cause over watering. Also make sure gr that there are drainage holes. 2. Carefully remove the cactus from the old pot. Digging the cactus out of the pot can cause root damage and should be avoided. 3. Put some ferti-lome cactus potting mix in the bottom of the pot and place the cactus on top. 4. Then fill in the sides with more ferti-lome cactus potting mix. Note: do not water heavily or place the cactus in direct sunlight for about a week after repotting. Watering: add water until there is only about a half-inch of dry soil on the surface. Be sure that the drainage holes in the pot are not blocked so the water can run out. The easiest way to check the soil moisture is to carefully stick a pencil or a similar object to the bottom of the soil and check for any damp soil clinging to it. During the dormant season, the plant should be watered no more than every few weeks. Fertilizer: from spring to fall, you should only fertilize your cactus once every two to three months. A low nitrogen fertilizer works best: 5-10-10. You can also use a time release fertilizer, but they only need to be used once in the spring. Light: cactus need bright light and inside, southern facing windows are best. If the cactus does not receive enough light, artificial light should also be supplemented. Temperature: Most cactus can tolerate extreme heat during their active growth season. During the dormant season, cactus do best in temperatures from 45-55 degrees F, which they would encounter in their natural habitats. Studies have also proven that low temperatures during the dormant season encourage flower growth.
