[QUOTE="Star*, post: 407136, member: 4964"] Mama of 5 You have to know what kind of cacti you have - There are desert and rain forest. I have both - very interesting creatures. My Christmas cacti and the cousin to it? LOVE fairly dry soil but have to be misted a few times a week and have loam and sand in the pot. I have another that is a rainforest cactus and it finally found it's place high on a shelf, hates water, hates sunlight, hates me, hates everything but being left A LONE......I call it HERMIT. It's ugly as sin. I water it about once every 3 months and mist once a week and finally it quit dying on me. Then I have the Schlumbergera (sp) and put it in with the Christmas Cactus and ta da - they love darkness - total darkness, little water and diffused light. My other cactus? LOVE LOVE LOVE light - hate water. I call them my Barbie plants. And last but not least there is my nemesis - the Aloe. So I finally got THAT under control -----HATES water, not fond of sunlight.....don't move. Once it finds a shelf - DO NOT MOVE. Rotate once a month, water sparingly......and mist lightly every other week. I love plants - I was a plant hoarder - and finally found joy in giving them away. Actually my house looked like a funeral parlor. I stopped rescuing plants on the side of the road....(okay I stopped brining them into the house) lol. They are now hidden all over or given away quickly after rehab. Anyone want a lovely Dracina? 6' tall - needs a Southern, warm and adoring home.
