They are ideal for indoor use, as they thrive in sunlight, dry air, and require infrequent watering. Popular indoor species include Mammillaria, Christmas cactus, and Echinopsis.

 OH, HOW SHARP THINGS ARE!

 In the wild, thorns protect the cactus from herbivores, and also
help prevent water retention, reduce the surface area
of the plant directly exposed to air. In the house, thorns can be a problem. After moving the cactus, wrap it several times
with pages of glossy magazines. Then carefully put the
plant from the old pot to the new one.

 Be especially careful when dealing with glochids. These small jagged
thorns are irritating and difficult to see with the naked eye, which means they are very difficult to remove. If necessary, you can use tape or tweezers to
extract the glochids.

 Despite their thorniness, cacti are wonderful houseplants for both amateurs and experienced gardeners. Very
Small plants require so little care and grafting clothes
in the interior an element of a special sculptural style. Small groups of cacti and large compositions attract attention.

Plant cacti at the beginning of the growing season.

  Indoors, the period of active growth of cacti begins in spring and early summer. The plants enter a dormant period in winter. The optimal time for planting and replanting cacti is at the beginning of the growing season. At this time, they adapt better to the environment and take root faster in the new soil.

 Do not disturb the cactus during the period of active flowering or in the cold season, when the plants are dormant. Adult cacti should be replanted only if they need fresh soil or are suffering from rot. After purchasing a new cactus, give the plant a chance to adapt to the new location. Proceed with replanting only after 2-3 weeks to avoid stress and death of the plant.
