Care for cacti and succulents

-

Give cacti and succulents as much light as you can for the winter, turning them around every few days on windowsill­s to ensure even growth.

It’s crucial to keep them frost free and get the watering right in the dormant season to stop them rotting. Always allow the compost to dry out completely before watering as little as once a month, and never leave them sitting in water.

Keep an eye out for any pests, checking regularly between leaves or under the rim of pots.
