Cacti & Succulent Care: Many people tend to think that cacti and succulents are too difficult to care for and decide against even buying them. Cacti and succulents will do quite well under the same conditions which would be considered neglect with other plants. Avoid watering until rooted to prevent rot. Watering: The most common problem people have with cacti and succulent plants is overwatering. They are 'water storing' plants and will do better with less water than they will with more. Since every situation is considerably different, there is not set time interval for when to water cacti and succulents. It is preferable that they are kept in a warm bright location for the best results, and the most beautiful color. Planting and care: Simply place about 1/2 way into well draining soil and water occasionally. Avoid watering until rooted to deter rot. Generally, cacti and succulents like to be kept warm and bright and the soil dry. Cacti are very tolerant of less than ideal circumstances, but better conditions derive better results. It is difficult to provide precise rules pertaining to the watering of cacti and succulents. Cacti should not be watered during their period of dormancy, which occurs during the winter months. During winter, keep cacti dry, especially if kept in an environment with a fairly low temperature. Natural light can be supplemented by an artificial light source.
