Cactus And Succulent Terrarium #6

Light: Ensure your cacti receive adequate sunlight. Place the terrarium in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight or under a grow light if natural light is insufficient. Rotate the terrarium occasionally to promote even growth.

Watering: Cacti are drought-tolerant plants and are susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Water sparingly. Check the soil's moisture level by inserting a finger about an inch into the soil; if it feels dry, it's time to water. Use a narrow-spouted watering can or a spray bottle to deliver a small amount of water directly to the soil around the cacti, avoiding the plant itself. Ensure that excess water drains out of the container.

Cleaning: Remove any dust or debris from the glass or container walls to allow maximum light penetration. Wipe the inside of the terrarium with a clean, dry cloth or a glass cleaner if necessary.

Fertilization: Cacti generally don't require frequent fertilization. You can apply a diluted, balanced cactus fertilizer (half-strength or less) during the growing season (typically spring and summer) about once a month. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.
