How often should you water a cactus?
Cacti are drought plants and need little water compared to other plants. The frequency with which cacti need to be watered depends on various factors, such as the size of the plant, the size of the pot, the location, and the weather. In general, cacti should be watered every two to four weeks, depending on how dry the soil is. It is important that the soil can dry out well before the plant is watered again. A good sign that a cactus needs watering is when the leaves appear dry and limp. Another way to find out if a cactus needs watering is to stick your finger into the soil. If the soil is still moist, the plant does not need to be watered yet. However, if the soil is dry, it is time to water the plant. It is important that cacti do not get too much water as this can lead to waterlogging and root rot.
