    The mini cactus requires little water and can withstand dry conditions well. Only water when the soil is completely dry. Preferably use rainwater or distilled water to prevent limescale buildup.

    For this plant, it is important to use special cactus potting soil. This potting soil is light and well-draining, allowing water to be drained effectively. It helps prevent root rot and keeps the plant healthy.

    The Cactus mini thrives best in well-draining soil that is low in nutrients. It is important that the soil is not too moist as this can cause root rot. Make sure that the pot where the plant is placed has drainage holes to allow excess water to drain away.

    The humidity in the room where the plant is located should be low to moderate, as these plants thrive in dry environments. Excessive humidity can cause mold and rot problems. It is important to monitor the humidity and adjust it if necessary.

    Houseplants, like the Cactus Mini, prefer a slightly acidic soil with a pH value between 5.5 and 6.5. It is important to regularly check the acidity of the soil and adjust it if necessary with special cactus potting soil. A too high acidity can inhibit plant growth and lead to health problems.

    Houseplants generally have fast growth and therefore require regular fertilization. Use a special fertilizer for houseplants that is rich in nutrients but not too strong. Fertilize the plant during the growing season, from spring to fall, about once a month.
