How do I recommend you water your cactus? #plantcare #cactuslover #wateringplants

This was the first time I watered my large cacti since September!

They go through a period of dormancy during the fall and winter. Now that we’re in spring, I will go back to watering. When do I water? I water when soil mix is COMPLETELY dry… like BONE dry and these will live outside during the spring and summer to get as much light to keep them happy. For my cacti indoors, they get the brightest window in the house (south facing window) or they get bright light from a grow light.

Watering day for my cactus is whatever day in the month I remember that my cactus exists.

The "drown that hoe" plant tag made me bust out laughing. 😂😂😂😂 Love it.

An emotional support plant that hurts you whenever you get too close to it 😢❤

Whenever I'm taking care of my parents plants, I scream "tell me the truth!" As I damn near waterboard them. Glad they live on an acreage because the neighbors might get the wrong idea

I've once had a cactus that I meant to kill by letting it dry out (I was a kid but felt bad throwing out a perfectly fine plant). Didn't water it for 2 years. And then it bloomed 😂.

You can see how juicy the first one gets! It looks so happy after. 😊

As a South Texan, I like to waterboard my cactus during the few days we get rain so that my boi cactaur feels like he's included.

Krystal you kill me with that "water that hoe"🤣I get you though. Healthier roots make Healthier plants

If you’ve ever seen a desert in media you have to realize it doesn’t often get rain. It’s really hot, but when it does rain it POURS. The cacti get drenched and have evolved to hold that water in like a reserve. This why camels are seen eating cacti. They actually contain water.

"Drown that hoe!" Got me cracking 💀💀

[briennabradley]

I like bottom watering. Because i can physically see how much water the soil needed and sucked up 😊 its satisfying to me

[gkw]

It looked like the first cactus got a little bigger when it drank 😮

I always think plants must like the feel of water, just like we do when we're hot.

The temptation to get cactus themed everything for when I get a house is so strong. I think I'm addicted to buying cacti

[chicken]

My cactus always surprises me with its resilience. I water thoroughly when the soil is bone dry.

[Funfunfunsquare]

I always kiss the plants when I water them. I feel like it makes them feel loved and happy

I know cactus don't feel emotions, but those cactus look happy in the sun 😀✨

When i water my plants from the bottom, I call it butt chugging 😂

[RealLordVoldemort]

I've watered my cactus like 3 times in 2 years. Its still going strong
