Cactus care can be tricky! I’ve found that letting the soil dry out completely between waterings is key. For those in similar climates, investing in a good moisture meter, like the one @Guide mentioned, can save you a lot of grief.
I’ve had my share of ups and downs with cacti too! One thing that really helped me switch things up was adding perlite to the soil mix; it improves drainage a lot. If anyone’s interested, check out the thread on soil amendments.
I once thought my cacti had given up on life until I realized I was drowning them a bit too much. Now I go for a mix that includes both sand and pumice for the drainage — it’s like giving them a little spa day! @amelia_floral22, have you noticed any difference with those gritty mixes?
