How to care for a Cool Cactus Grow Set
Watering the Cool Cactus Grow Set
The Cool Cactus Grow Set enjoys a thirst-quenching yet sparing watering routine. During the growth period, water approximately once every two weeks, keeping the substrate slightly moist but not soaking wet. During the winter months, limit watering to once a month and avoid allowing water to stagnate in the pot. For detailed tips, read our blog post about how much water a cactus needs .
Light requirements of the Cool Cactus Grow Set
Cacti love the sun and require plenty of direct sunlight. Place your Cool Cactus Grow Kit on a bright south-facing windowsill or near a west-facing window. Ensure the plants receive at least four to six hours of sunlight daily. Too little light will cause the shoots to become droopy and thin. For inspiration on sunny locations, browse our collection of plants for sunny locations.
Frequently occurring problems with the Cool Cactus Grow Set
Yellow leaves
Yellow leaves are often caused by overwatering or root rot. Ensure the substrate isn't too wet and allow the top layer to dry thoroughly between waterings. If root rot is present, you can carefully remove the plant from its pot, cut away any affected roots, and repot it in fresh cactus substrate . Read more in our article about root rot in houseplants .
Plant dripping
In strong UV rays, some cacti may secrete moisture droplets as self-protection. This isn't a disease, but a sign that the plant is receiving a lot of sun. If necessary, move the plant a little further from the window to prevent salinization or burn marks. Keep the pot clean and regularly remove dripping salt crystals with a dry cloth.
Plagues
Spider mites, mealybugs, and thrips are the most common invaders of cacti. Check weekly for white flakes or fine webs. If infested, treat with our sticky traps for fungus gnats or a mild organic insect spray. Ensure good air circulation and avoid stagnant water.
Roots emerge from the bottom of the pot
If the roots emerge from the bottom of the pot, your cactus is too cramped. Repot it in a slightly larger pot with fresh substrate. Our potting soil for aroids combines well with cactus substrate for added nutrition. This encourages healthy root growth and provides more growing space.
Brown edges on the leaves
Browning edges are usually caused by excessively bright afternoon sun or dry air. Move the planter to a location with indirect light in the afternoon and slightly increase the humidity around the plant. If necessary, use a plant mister from our plant accessories to keep the environment moist without dripping.
