If you don’t have a green thumb, you will at least get a cactus ( Cactaceae<\/em> ) to make ends meet – at least that’s what they say. In practice, however, one often hears the phrase “With me, even the cacti die”. Fortunately, caring for frugal beings is not that difficult. And with a little knowledge, you can achieve a lot.<\/p>\n

Cacti grow slowly. No wonder, because the resilient plants come from the barren regions of America. In order to better understand cacti and their needs, you should dare to look into the world of their prickly contemporaries: It is mostly dry here and the rare availability of water determines the rhythm of life. The surrounding vegetation is sparse and so there are few dead plant parts that could be converted into humus. The earth therefore consists mainly of mineral components. In order to make ends meet, the cactus has to slowly and steadily build up biomass.<\/p>\n

With these conditions in mind, you basically have everything you need to know to keep your cactus happy.<\/p>\n
