Question
My cactus, I have lots, does not look healthy.
I was told that I did not have them wet enough.
Help!

Answer
Dear Erma,

I tried to answer you several weeks ago, but my answer was refused. I then asked this site to send you my answer, but I guess they didn't.

I really need to know what you have to answer your question fully, but generally, during the Spring/Summer growing season for most cacti, you need to water them when they've dried out from the previous watering. It also all depends on what kind of soil they're in, how much sun, and other cultural conditions.

Kind regards,

Jeff
