Flowers are a great decorative element in any space. If you take care of them properly, they are pleasing to the eye with their healthy appearance. Are you a busy and busy person? Try growing succulents. They are easy to care for, do not need constant supervision and frequent watering. Check what conditions you need to provide cacti for them to thrive.
How often to water cacti? Provide the plants with the right conditions and they will reward you with a beautiful appearance
Cacti love the sun, so it’s worth choosing very sunny places for them, such as windowsills. They like well-drained soil, and in garden centers you will find special mixtures for these plants. They do not require frequent watering, which is their undoubted advantage. In the summer, do it once every 3 weeks (checking beforehand whether the substrate is dry), and in the fall and winter once every month and a half. Remember not to overwater them and not to let the water stand in the pot.
Cacti like fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium, so during the growing season you should fertilize them with homemade fertilizer. Check your plants periodically for mealybugs and spider mites. These are common pests that feed on succulents, weakening them and causing them to go to waste.

How to feed a cactus? Homemade conditioner will be the best solution
When growing cacti, it is worth using water after cooking vegetables to water them. This will provide them with nutrients that will have a positive effect on their growth. To care for the roots, make fertilizer for them from coffee grounds. This is a cost-free way to get the perfect nutrient that will support your succulents.
- Collect the grounds after brewing coffee.
- Spread them out on a paper towel and dry them thoroughly.
- Sprinkle less than a teaspoon of grounds on top of the substrate and mix them into the substrate.
- Repeat every 2-3 months. If you’d like, please vote in our poll below.
TIP! If you don’t drink coffee, you can use a banana peel instead of coffee grounds. Just cut it into small pieces and put it in the soil around the cactus. Remember not to do it more often than once every 2-3 months.
