CACTUS CARE

How to care for and propagate your cactus or other succulent plant

Find a sunny location.

Plant in a gritty, free-draining soil.

Water well when dry in summer (Maybe once a week), keep dry in winter.

In summer they can be fed with any fertiliser suitable for tomato plants.

To propagate,

just twist - or cut - off a pad. Allow to dry (callus over) for a few days. Then plant in slightly moist  (or even dry) compost. Place out of direct sun, but in good light, in a warm place.

Leave for 2-3 weeks, then water. (By this time the cutting will have produced roots)

Move back into full sun. That's it!
