Small Cactus
These spiky cactus plants are a great gift for an urban space and will do well on any light windowsill with very little care or watering - so very drought resistant. Reminiscent of the wild west, these cowboy cactus are also known as prickly pear cactus. They are also very easy to propagate - simply cut off one of the pads and pot into well draining soil.![5 Stars](https://plants4presents.co.uk/static/version1720620140/frontend/plants4presents/plants4presents/en_GB/BigHat_Trustpilot/images/5-star.png)

These instructions are sent with the plant gift
Cacti are used to hot dry conditions and thrive indoors in a warm room. A sunny windowsill is ideal, but your plant will tolerate a range of conditions if it is protected from temperatures under 8˚C.
These plants are native to the desert, so they will not need much water. Water a small amount (around a quarter of a teacup) every week or so to keep the flesh a healthy green.
These plants are quite slow growers and their size can easily be contained by a small pot. To encourage growth, repot your plant once a year. In a sunny spot your cactus should eventually produce colourful blooms.
Problem Solving:
Cactus plants are pretty resistant to neglect. However, if your plant does start looking sorry for itself, remove any dead or soft leaves, spines or patches and move to a sunnier position. Shrivelling can be a sign of under watering so try watering more regularly. On the flip side, mould at the base or the bottom of the leaves is a sign of over watering or too damp a position, so try a sunnier, airier room and let it dry out for a good week or two before watering.
