Ouch, ouch... A dead cactus! That would be the easiest plant, wouldn't it?
Well, never say you can't care for plants, because cacti die most often from over-care. Seriously! Overwatering is the number one cause of cactus death. In this blog post, you'll learn how to make your next cactus survive.

The cactus is native to very dry places. As with all plants, it's best to try to mimic its natural habitat. That means not too much water, lots of light, and nice and warm. A sunny spot by the window, and a generous dose of water every now and then. How often and how much you need to water? It varies! Let's take a look.
When it comes to plants, we often think of too much water, but that's not the case. There's only too much watering. With a cactus, it's best to let the soil dry out completely before giving your irritable friend another drink. In other places, a little logical thinking about the origins is all it takes. For example, true tropical rainforest plants are much less sensitive to too much watering. So, it's better to give your cactus too little water than too much, just like in nature!
There's no such thing as too much water! Too often, though!
An important side note, however, is that water must be able to drain easily from the pot. Avoid water at the bottom of your pot at all times to prevent root rot.
