Cacti

CACTUS

LIGHT:  We light bright light and direct sun.  It is best to gradually introduce us to the sun if we haven’t been getting much.  We love to be outside in the heat during the summer.  We will start to stretch out if we aren’t receiving enough light.  If we are bleaching out or turning brown, we might be getting too much sun.

WATER:  We store water in our leaves and stems so we don’t need watered often but enjoy a good splash after completely drying out.  Sometimes we get limp or shrivel a little when we are really parched.

FUN FACT:  All cacti are in the succulent family.
