The spikes on cacti serve as protection from predators, so keep this away from kids and pets!

With a variety of shapes, colours, and sizes, cacti make an easy-going houseplant. As a relatively low maintenance plant, cacti do well with lots of sunlight and only need to be watered once the soil is completely dry.

If you start to see you cactus turning yellow, this is a sign that your plant needs more water.

Cactus soil typically contains sand, gravel, pumice and perlite, so look for something that has these. This will help to ensure your soil is well draining. Atlwin Tropical Soil or ProMix Cactus & Succulent will do.
