Tips for watering cactus
Cacti are plants that have adapted to the desert environment and have water storage capacity. Therefore, they do not need much watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot and fungal diseases, causing the death of the cactus.
Wait for the Soil to Dry
Wait for the soil to dry completely before watering. You can check this by sticking your finger into the soil. If your finger is dry to a depth of 2-3 cm, it is time to water it.
