Treat cactus like any other plant. During the growing season water and feed as required. During the dormant season ease off the water and watch for signs of growth and start all over again.

What happens to cactus flowers?

Cactus flowers tend not to be long blooming. Some cactus plants have night flowering blooms. Others have day flowering blossoms. Either way, the flowers need to be pollinated. Once pollinated, the flowers wither and develop the ovary. From the ovary develops the fruit, which produces cactus seeds. The seeds may be used by the cactus to feed the available wildlife and to reproduce.


What part of the cactus takes in moisture?

The roots take in moisture for the cactus.Specifically, water and dissolved nutrients are taken in underground by the cactus plant's roots. The water and dissolved nutrients are sent by capillary action up into the stem. In the stem, transformation into energizing foods takes place by way of the photosynthetic interaction with the sun.Water and energizing carbohydrates, starches, and sugars are stored in the stem. They are released when needed for such cactus activities as flowering, fruiting, and reproducing. About 90% of the inside of the cactus is involved in the moving and storing of precious water.
