Most people forget that container gardening slowly depletes nutrients in the soil. Without replenishing, even a healthy plant becomes weak. By adding the right boost:
✔️ Leaves turn greener,
✔️ Stems grow stronger,
✔️ Buds form more abundantly,
✔️ And even an “ugly” neglected cactus can recover.
📈 Pro Tips for Maximum Growth
✅ Repot every 2–3 years using a premium cactus mix.
✅ Use a balanced liquid fertilizer for houseplants during active growth (spring and summer).
✅ Avoid direct afternoon sun; bright morning light is perfect.
✅ Rotate your plant every few weeks to keep growth even.
✅ Consider a grow light for indoor plants if your home is dark in winter.
