You can tell if your cactus is being under watered by checking if the soil is completely dry, if the cactus looks shriveled or wilted, or if the lower parts of the cactus are turning yellow or brown.
You can tell if your fiddle leaf fig plant is being under watered by checking the soil moisture level. If the soil is dry to the touch and the leaves are drooping or turning brown at the edges, it may indicate that the plant needs more water. Additionally, if the plant is not growing or if the leaves are becoming brittle, it could be a sign of under watering.
It depends upon the type of cactus, the season, and the environment. But generally, cactus plants grow better if they're watered less. Generally, they should be watered only when their soil is almost but not completely dry. That's during the growing season. During dormancy, they shouldn't be watered at all.Most plants don't like to be non stop waterlogged or wet. Overwatering damages plant tissue and encourages fungal problems such as stem base rot. Overwatering and waterlogging can be avoided by using a moisture meter, to tell when moisture is almost completely absent from soil. It's at that point that the cactus plant needs water, during the growing season.

You can tell if your fiddle leaf fig plant has been over watered by checking the soil for excessive moisture, yellowing or dropping leaves, and signs of root rot such as mushy roots or a foul smell.
You can tell if your cactus is having babies, or "pups," by looking for small, new growths emerging from the base or sides of the main plant. These pups typically resemble miniature versions of the parent cactus and may have their own roots. Additionally, if your cactus is healthy and has a good growing environment, it may produce flowers, which can also indicate that it is in a reproductive phase. Regularly checking for these signs will help you identify if your cactus is propagating.
There is no way to tell the exact age of a cactus. Unlike trees you can count rings, but for cacti some believe like the saguaro cactus you can use the arms to tell the age, but in the life span of a saguaro it can grow at different rates. if you have to estimate a saguaro it takes the base an average of about 60 years to grow to the size of a male adult.
It starts getting white balls on its thorns or by getting a spiderweb like substance on it.
No body wont tell this....so this is a wrong question of you
Lift the pot. If it is very heavy it is over watered.
