Easter cactus are relatively easy to care for. They should be potted in a rich yet free draining compost (specific cactus composts are available, or normal compost mixed with sand and pearlite). They do not need repotting unless the roots are growing out the bottom of the pot as they will survive quite happily when rootbound.
Weekly watering should be sufficient, though more may be necessary during hot weather. Be careful not to overwater - they are more likely to survive underwatering than overwatering. Yellowing of the leaves suggest overwatering whereas a "thirsty" plant will be apparent as the leaves will droop and become wrinkled.
To trigger flowering the plants need to be kept cool, about 15 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit), once they start budding they can be moved into warmer temperatures. Be very careful not to overwater during flowering.
They like to be in bright but indirect light, direct sunlight can damage the plant.

∙ 12y agoIF you want to care for it well you should find out what type it is and find care instructions online. If you don't know, then I suggest leaving it next to a window, making sure it gets a lot of sun and only watering it when it gets dry. Good Luck!!

∙ 11y agoI just got one and I've heard that they only need water every 2 week or so. And when you do water them, I've heard you just mist the plant and the soil.

How do cactus plants look fully grown?
The look of a fully grown cactus depends upon the particular cactus. For example, jumping cactus [Cylindropuntia fulgida] sheds its perilous spines once it's fully grown and heading into old age. In the way of another example, old man cactus [Cephalocereus senilisand Oreocereus spp] becomes enveloped in a downy beard from its fine, long, soft, white outer spines. As yet another example, the giant saguaro cactus [Carnegiea gigantea] finds its towering columnar profile enhanced with branching arms once fully grown.
