Question
Hi, I have planted some swaguro catus in a little pot in my house.  The
instructions said nothing about watering except for intill they sprought, lkeep
the pot in a bowl of water.  SHould i countine this even they have come up and if
not, how often should i water them (the pot is staying in the house except its
cold where i live).  Thank you

Answer
Hillary,

Once they sprout, let the soil dry out between waterings. Depending on where you live, it can take a week or more for the soil to dry out. Saguaro's grow very slow so they should stay small for quite some time, good luck.

Sincerely,

Greg
