As one of the giants in the cactus family, it is used more often in movies and television than any other cactus. Native in the Southwestern U.S and Northwest Mexico its a very tall but slow growing cactus. It takes about 150 years to reach its impressive stature of over 40 feet. The saguaro is non the less a beautiful columnar cactus. Moderately easy to grow, it requires good drainage as they are sensitive to waterlogging.
- Soil/Planting: When planting or repotting your plants, you always should use cacti soil or a well draining soil. Choosing a new pot can be a fun task, but you want to make sure that there are drainage holes in the pot.
- Fertilizer: To help insure your new succulent gets the nutrients it needs, we recommend using a cactus fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Allow soil to dry out between watering. If you are unsure about how much to water, a moisture meter is an inexpensive tool that can help. During the winter months, be careful to not overwater.
- Hardiness: Plants will not tolerate frost and should be brought indoors or to a protective area. You should always check to see if your plant will survive outside during the winter month.
