You shouldn't think that cacti can be classified as plants that don't need any care at all.

These are truly unpretentious plants, but completely ignoring them will lead to death.

Also, some people think that cacti do not have a proven watering system. The logic is simple: if the plant somehow survives in the desert, then it will do without moisture in an apartment. This is the wrong approach.

How to water cacti

First of all, it is worth noting that the watering rules will differ depending on the season. In the spring and summer, it is recommended to add moisture every week and a half. The fact is that in the spring and summer, cacti grow and develop.

But in the cold season, the frequency of watering can really be rare. It is enough to add moisture only once a month.
