Question
My catus plant needs to be cared for in a better way.
What should I do if it seems that it is not getting enough water? Plus it is indoors,and very big.
What should I do with it.

Answer
Dear Leroy,

Generally speaking, you should water it when the soil is dry. If it is not getting enough water, it will start to shrivel up. Indoors, make sure it gets as much light as possible, but no direct sunlight or it will sunburn. And that is really about it. Cactus are fairly low maintenance, just make sure you don't over water. Again, let the soil dry out between waterings.

Sincerely,

Greg
