Indoor Cactus

An etiolated cactus is a cactus in the dark. Refrigerator watering in winter.

1 min read

The living room cactus dies from Sunday watering. Mineral substrate, small pot with holes, and real light.

Care

Sun or maximum light, expanded clay and perlite, water when the pot feels dry, no watering almost in cold winter.

Soft base: rotten. Stretched: lack of light. Mealybug on the body.

Expanded clay + perlite and a 3-5 L pot with drainage. No hydrogel or permanent saucer.

Should it be misted?

No. Water on the body + cold = fungi.

Fertilizer?

Very light during growth. In winter, nothing.

All universes

Lightweight expanded clay balls for drainage, hydroponics, and preventing waterlogged root balls.

Without water drainage, even the most expensive substrate turns into a swamp with yellow leaves.

Overwatering kills more plants than August vacations.

Sticky cotton balls in clusters. They need to be touched, do not 'fog the air'.
