Starting Indoors - All year round
Sow seeds thinly 0.5cm deep in trays of moist compost, be careful not to over-water. Store in a warm place at an approx. temperature of 18-23°C. Do not exclude light as this is needed for germination (avoid direct sunlight). Cacti can be quite slow to start, but if placed in correct location can last a very long time. When the seedlings are strong enough to handle they can be transplanted into bigger pots or trays. Keep in a sunny position and do not allow to dry out. Many varieties will produce attractive flowers.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When can I grow Cactus in the UK?

Grow Cactus indoors at any time of year in a bright position. Move it outside only during warm, frost-free weather, and bring it back under cover before temperatures fall.

Where is the best place to grow Cactus?

Cactus needs very bright light and free-draining compost. A sunny windowsill, conservatory or greenhouse is usually best.

How often should I water Cactus?

Water sparingly, allowing the compost to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering greatly in winter, when most Cactus plants are resting.

Why is my Cactus soft, yellow or rotting?

This is usually caused by overwatering or poor drainage. Remove the plant from wet compost, check for damaged roots and repot into dry, gritty compost if necessary.

Can I grow Cactus outside in the UK?

Most Cactus needs frost-free protection, although some hardy types can tolerate outdoor conditions. Check the product details before leaving any Cactus outside over winter.
