Cacti can be grown anywhere as long as you provide them with the care suited for your environment. People even grow them in places where it snows. You may have to keep your cacti in pots though so that you can move them to dry shelter during rainy days. There are also several tropical or rain forest cacti that likes more water than desert cacti. You may want to start with those. Good luck!

Sometimes I think cactus are just as difficult in the desert. If it’s not sunburn it’s rot or they are too hot in pots or the weather doesn’t cooperate. Just have to look for those little signs that they are not happy. You’re video helped me understand one of my problems. Lost a few this year to dehydration from under watering. Thank you

Very true🙏💖And when they lose all their roots they need repotting because all those dead roots cause fungi as they decompose in the soil. I too water in winter. It's a dry sunny winter here with lows of 17.6°F at night. As long as you have sunshine everyday some water is necessary🤲🌟

Nice video 😊 I’m in the UK but also give mine a little drink in the winter if it looks like they need it. I also have some that are in fact winter growers.

Wowww 😍 learned a lot from this thank you. I didn’t know you can’t water them in winter ( I guess it really depends on the climate where you are ) because here in Brisbane I do water them and they get rained on in winter because they are outside 24/7. Last week we had 6 days of rain I’ve put some of them under cover after that. In the past 2yrs with cacti I only had about 2-3 casualties hahaha thought i’d share. I subscribed. Keep making more videos please 💕

Hi Sis. Yeah, giving them a good winter rest will promote flowering in spring. But I do make some exceptions on watering as shown in the video. Thank you so much for checking out my channel and for subscribing. I’m happy to have a Filipina friend here. 😉☕️☕️

I water my cacti and succulents once a month in summer and once a week in winter. Here, summers are very wet and cloudy and the air is oppressive while winters are dry and clear. It hardly rains in winter; maybe a few light showers for a day or two and that's it. It dries out very fast in winter. So no watering in winter is impractical.

That’s true. That is why I always tell everybody there is no one strict rule during winter when it comes to watering. It depends on your climate and how fast your cactus are drying up. I just gave my plants some sip of water this morning. 😉

I love cactus but I don’t think I’m using the right soil mixture ...What kind of soil are you using for your cactus... thank

Hi. I use any cactus soil mix but I add more perlite and pumice (anything that will make the soil more draining). I find the store-bought cactus mix good for succulents but too rich for cactus. Hope this helps and thanks for stopping by. 🙂

Oh wow! This was very informative. Thank you. I had no idea about the cactus disconnecting from the roots. I guess you water the cactus in the winter to keep the roots from disconnecting?

Some cactus are more prone to doing this but not all. Melocactus does the same thing too, if I’m not mistaken. I did not understand it either until I came across this article. Some are more prone to loosing their roots when extremely dehydrated. 🙂

Your winter sounds mild and you are very lucky. I would say keep them where it gets some direct morning sun but protected from rain. 🙂🌵☕️

I found this very informative, thank you... i live in similar conditions, im a 5 hour drive away from vegas, the roots disconnecting makes a lot of sense to me, im wondering, when you do water in the winter, do you not water til you see shriveling or puckering and shrinkage first? And not water cactus unless you see those signs?

During winter, I generally do not water my cacti unless I see very drastic signs of shriveling. 🙂

I stopped watering my cactus in october and it was standing next to cold window. Now its January and it is forming flower buds. Should I water it even though it is January now or wait till spring?
