How to Help a Spiky Friend Thrive (Not Just Survive) 🌵

Welcome to Cactus Rehab.

Cacti aren’t hard to love, but they do have standards. Here’s how to treat them right:

🌞 Sun, please – Bright, direct light is their jam. If your cactus is stretching or fading, it’s craving sunshine.

-Drainage is Non-Negotiable – No holes in the pot? That’s a slow death sentence. Use gritty, cactus-specific soil and containers that drain.

-Forget Them (In a Good Way) – Water only when completely dry. Seriously. Think “desert,” not “spa day.”

-Air Circulation – No steamy bathrooms or stuffy corners. These guys like airflow.

💚 No Poaching – Cacti are slow growers and often endangered. Leave wild ones where they are. If you’re buying, choose a reputable nursery, not a back-alley succulent dealer or roadside stand (except the cactus rehab re-homing program!)

In many cultures, cacti symbolize endurance, warmth, and protection. They’re survivors—spiny little reminders that thriving doesn’t always look soft and leafy.

Plus, they’re weird, wonderful, and full of personality.

Got a cactus that’s struggling? Overwatered, underloved, or just not vibing with your windowsill? We’ll take it. No judgment. At Cactus Rehab, we give neglected plants a second chance at the sunny life they deserve. Reach out to surrender a cactus in need of another chance 🌵💚
