Cactus Care

Soil
Use well-draining soil that is specifically made for cactus, palm and citrus plants. This can be purchased pre-made or you can find recipes online to make your own. The key is that your cactus can drain effectively when watered so its roots are not sitting in water.

Cactus can tolerate full sun and most love it.

Water when dry or every 10-14 days. Avoid over watering and avoid letting cactus sit in water.

Mist air plants weekly. Or, soak them in a bowl of water periodically for about 30 minutes, drying them upside down on a paper towel for an hour or two.

Soil is optional depending on the plants inside your terrarium. Use well draining soil if it is used and if succulents or cactus are used. If using air plants, soil is not needed and air plants can be nestled into rocks, sand, etc.

Terrariums do well in indirect or direct sun. If in direct sun, you may need to remove the lid (if your terrarium has one) to avoid the inside environment from overheating.

Water terrariums when dry by misting the plants inside the terrarium when needed. Keep the inside environment moist but not soaking wet.
