# Hellooo I got these cacti as a gift and I’m nervous to water because…

_Publié par Freedomskai le 2024-01-21_

Hellooo I got these cacti as a gift and I’m nervous to water because the last cactus I had I accidentally overwatered and killed it. These were all watered exactly a week ago but their soil feels so dry already! Are there any tell tale signs that I can look for when they’re thirsty (ie like string of hearts, pearls, etc)? I don’t wanna kill these too 😭

I have an eve’s pin, a moon cactus, a pin cushion, and a lemon ball cactus. Thank you!

Very little increments of water whenever you do
