Exposure & placement

Cacti love sun and heat. They thrive both indoors in a very bright spot and outdoors on a sunny balcony or terrace.

• Exposure: full sun to bright direct light.
• Ideal: south-facing windowsill, balcony, or well-exposed veranda.
• Temperature: between 18 and 30 °C; they tolerate heat but dislike cold and humidity.
• Humidity: low to none; prefers dry environments.

Verdeia tip: let them enjoy direct sunlight for several hours a day to strengthen their natural shapes and colors.

Watering & care

• Watering: very low; water only when the soil is completely dry.
• Drainage: essential; use a special well-draining cactus substrate.
• Fertilizer: once a month in spring and summer, with a low-nitrogen fertilizer.
• Care: minimal; simply remove dead spines or dried flowers.

In winter, almost stop watering: cacti enter dormancy and only need light and warmth.

Decor ideas & plant pairings

The Cactus Mix suits all decorative desires: composition on a tray, dry potted garden, or modern terrarium. Its geometric shapes and variety of textures add a contemporary and natural touch.

• To pair with: succulents, Crassula, or Haworthia for a desert chic look.
• Ideal pot: terracotta, concrete, or matte ceramic for a natural contrast.
• Atmosphere: ideal in a minimalist interior, a bright office, or a Mediterranean balcony.

Combine different sizes and shapes to create a harmonious and textured composition.

Verdeia tips

• Place the cacti in a very bright spot, even sunny for several hours a day.
• Always water at the base, never on the plant, to prevent rot.
• Use a very well-draining substrate and a pot with drainage holes for good water flow.
• Avoid saucers full of water: roots hate stagnant moisture.
• In summer, you can take them outside provided you gradually acclimate them to direct sunlight.

These cacti are perfect for beginners: hardy, decorative, and easy to care for, they add character to any space.
