Does anyone know what type of cactus these are and how often to water them I think it’s been like two months now that I don’t water them because it had been cold and cloudy here and that’s how my old one died 😭

    Looks like a moon cactus! Those are fine to leave over the winter and it’s best to water them very little in cold months, however I’ve killed every one I’ve had so good luck!! lol

      Omg no way 🤣 I’m hoping mine will thrive but definitely hard to care for it correctly 😅

      I over watered one - that was totally my fault because I didn’t even check that I’d removed the plug from the bot of the pot 😑😭 the second time idk what happened…it started to look moldy then just shriveled up and died lol oops

    this is moon cactus. during the winter succulents and cactus need very minimal water and yours look fairly healthy! I’d slowly water it more and more during the summer so for example build it up from two months to 6 weeks then 4 weeks until you get to once every 2 weeks to not drown the plant. this is just my opinion really so I’d probably do more research just in case.
