Gardenerd's Cacti garden

Created on Friday, 09 May 08

Cacti truly are ideal for any procrastinator, such as myself. They are very forgiving to forgetfulness and can often go very long periods without water – even in the scorching heat of summer. This is not to say that they can go forever without it but typically once a month during the growing season is just right. In addition to their ease of care, some can produce the most spectacular flowers in the flora world.

Garden Type: Desert | Sun: Partial Sun | Soil: Sand
