Watering Needs Desert plants like the mexican giant cardon cacti are adapted to survive in harsh hot environments, storing water in their stems and trunks for months at a time. During summer, you should water them every 2-3 weeks or when the soil is dry. In winter, you may not need to water them at all. Cactus, on the other hand, can go months without water and not die. However, if there is a severe drought or you forget to water them for over a month during the summer then it can lead to discoloration and a shriveling look as it consumes more of the water in its interior. When you water them, take care not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot and fungal infections. Light Requirements Providing enough light for these desert cacti is one of the most important aspects of their care. It is important to grow the cardon cactus plant in areas that receive at least 4-6 hours of bright, direct light every day to keep them happy. If indoors, place your cactus directly in front of a west- or south-facing window. If they don't receive enough light, their stems may grow leggy and become paler, and their spines will shorten, so make your cactus happy and give it plenty of light. Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs These false saguaro cardon plants favor very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized potting mix that contains over 10 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your cactus to thrive. When it comes to fertilizing, remember that less is more. A small amount of natural or organic fertilizer once a year in spring will do wonders for your plant's health and growth. Using organic fertilizers also ensures that other beneficial compounds and microbes are added to the soil without the use of harsh chemicals. Show your succulent some love with awesome natural fertilizer and watch it thrive. Hardiness Zones & More As desert dwellers, the Mexican giant cardon cactus enjoys hot temperatures. They prefer temperatures above 50 degrees Fahrenheit and can withstand triple digits in the summer, so don't be concerned if your cactus becomes overheated. The Mexican giant cactus, on the other hand, cannot handle frost, cold, or freezing temperatures, so make sure it doesn't get below 25 degrees Fahrenheit in its environment. If grown outdoors, these cacti grow best in USDA zone 9 - 11. In cooler zones, it can be kept outdoors during the summer and brought in as the temperature drops.
