Planting and repotting:
Cacti thrive in warm and bright locations, at temperatures not lower than 5–10°C. Spring and summer are the best times for planting and repotting. Do not repot cacti during their flowering period.
Due to their shallow root system, deep containers should not be used. Shallow clay bowls with a drainage hole in the bottom are ideal.
Watering should be infrequent, preferably with room-temperature water. Young plants, or those in small containers, should be repotted once a year, while older specimens every 2–3 years.
Before repotting, do not water the plant for several days, as this makes it easier to remove the cactus from the pot.
Fertilization:
The growing medium contains a starter dose of fertilizer that meets the nutritional needs of cacti for 4–6 weeks. After this period, it is recommended to use a fertilizer specifically designed for cacti.
Note: Before use, the substrate should be thoroughly loosened and, if necessary, moistened. Gardening work is recommended to be carried out while wearing gardening gloves.
