  • How often should I water my mini cactus?
    Mini cacti generally require watering every 2-3 weeks, depending on your environment. Make sure the soil is completely dry before watering to avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
  • What kind of light does my mini cactus need?
    Cacti thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Place your cactus near a sunny window, but avoid direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods as it may cause sunburn on some varieties.
  • What type of soil should I use for repotting my cactus?
    Use a well-draining, sandy soil mix specifically designed for cacti and succulents. Avoid regular potting soil, as it retains too much moisture for these desert plants. *Kaleo Cactus Garden's soil blend will be available soon.*
  • Do mini cacti need fertilizer?
    Yes, but only during their growing season (spring and summer). Use a diluted cactus-specific fertilizer once a month. There's no need to fertilize in the winter when growth slows down.
  • How can I tell if my cactus is healthy?
    A healthy cactus will have firm, plump flesh and vibrant color. Signs of distress include wrinkling, discoloration, or soft spots, which could indicate under- or overwatering.
  • How big will my mini cactus grow?
    Mini cacti grow slowly and can remain small for years. Growth depends on the species and care, but most stay compact for a long time, making them ideal for small spaces.
  • Can I place my cactus outside?
    Yes, cacti can live outdoors in warm climates with plenty of sunlight. However, if temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C), it’s best to bring them indoors to prevent damage from cold.
  • How do I know if my cactus needs repotting?
    Repot your cactus every 2-3 years or if you notice its roots outgrowing the current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with drainage holes to ensure proper root health.
  • Are mini cacti safe for pets?
    While some cacti may cause irritation if ingested, cacti can also have sharp spines that may harm curious pets. Keep your cactus out of reach of cats or dogs to prevent accidents.
  • What should I do if my cactus turns yellow or brown?
    Yellowing or browning can be a sign of too much sunlight or overwatering. Move your cactus to a spot with indirect light and allow the soil to dry out before watering again.
  • Can I propagate my mini cactus?
    Yes! Many cacti can be propagated through cuttings or offsets. Simply let the cut part dry and callous over before planting it in well-draining soil.
  • How can I keep my cactus looking its best?
    Occasionally dust off the cactus with a soft brush to keep it clean and looking fresh. You can also rotate the plant periodically to ensure even sunlight exposure for balanced growth
