Use a low nitrogen fertilizer every 2 weeks from June through September. Cacti tolerate fairly cool temperatures but the exact temperature used depends on the cactus grown. The range for most is from 65 to 85 degrees. April is the best time to repot cacti. Repot every second year, or sooner if the roots get crowded.
Propagation is by cuttings, seeds or offsets.
Lay cuttings in the sun for at least 2 days before putting them in rooting media. This information is for educational purposes only.
