How do I care for succulents and cacti

Sure thing! Here are eight different responses you can use:

**Keep it simple**: Just make sure they get plenty of sunlight, and don’t overwater them! Let the soil dry out completely between waterings.

**Light it up**: Succulents and cacti love the sun, so put them in a bright spot. Just watch out for too much direct sunlight—it can burn them!

**Water wisely**: Water them about once a week, but if you notice the leaves getting mushy, you might be giving them too much. Less is more with these guys!

**Soil matters**: Use a well-draining soil mix. You can grab cactus mix at the store or mix regular potting soil with sand or perlite to help with drainage.

**Temperature check**: They like it warm, so keep them in a cozy spot. Just bring them inside if it gets too cold—most don’t like frost!

**Fertilize lightly**: During the growing season (spring and summer), you can give them a little cactus fertilizer, but don’t go overboard. They don’t need much!

**Repot when needed**: If they start to outgrow their pot or look root-bound, it’s time to repot them. Just be gentle with those roots!
