Watering Schedule for Cactus
Cacti go through a growth period in spring and
summer and a dormant period in fall and winter. During the growth period, keep the soil
moist. Fertilize several times with 5-10-5 fertilizer or the equivalent. During the
dormant period, allow the soil to become dry before watering. One watering every two to
three weeks is usually sufficient. If possible, keep the temperature at 45-55 degrees F
during this time. A window location is often 10-15 degrees cooler than the interior of a
room. Since cacti like strong sunlight, a window facing south is usually an excellent
location.
