How To Care For CACTUS! 

The culture of Cactus is not at all complicated. For you to enjoy good results, all you need follow, are the suggestions 
below... 
SOIL 
The native soil is of a peculiar composition; no matter how long a 
drouth—upon digging a cacti the soil will be found to be slightly 
moist. A very good soil may be made in which cactus will thrive. 
The soil should be a very coarse, porus one—that will not pack hard 
or stay muddy. No set rules can be given for its composition owing 
to varying characteristics of soil materials available. However, we 
would suggest as a basis—one part each of coarse gravel, *good soil 
and old leaf mold. Sand, fine silt and some Peat Moss or leaf mold 
may be added from time to time. Good drainage is essential—and 
apparently the greatest cultural error is to consider that they all need 
extremely arid conditions without any water. 
WATERING 
Watering is something for which no set rule can be given. Gen- 
erally, water plants well, and do not repeat until soil is nearly dry. 
This may be once a day or not for several weeks according to the 
size of the pot and other conditions. To preserve the brilliant spine 
colors do not moisten the tops often. 
POTTING 
When planting in pots, first cover the drainage hole with a 
piece of broken pot or a few small stones, then add a little gravel 
and fill with prepared soil. Pots should be chosen to balance the 
size of the plants. Too large pots are as harmful as too small ones. 
Bare rooted plants should have the roots spread apart as much as 
possible as the soil is added. Any dried out roots on plants should 
be cut off, before potting. 
HOUSE PLANTS OR OUT DOOR GARDENS 
When grown as house plants most kinds will grow continuously 
as long as proper conditions of heat, light and moisture are main- 
tained. Unless light is strong, reduce watering in winter to check 
growth as new growth may be pale and spindly. Cactus in outdoor 
gardens in cold sections should be wintered in a dry cellar or an attic | 
providing these places do not acfually freeze and they have a little 
light. The plants should be dried off and not watered during the win- 
ter as they should not grow while in storage. 
PESTS 
The most common pests 
attacking cactus are: Red 
Spider, Mealy bug and 
scale. The first two may be 
controlled by spraying with 
a solution of Black Leaf 40, 
Pyrethrum or Rotenone 
sprays as per directions. 
NEMATODES—microscopic 
worms, attack the _ roots. 
Wash off the plants, cut off 
the roots, dry for a few 
days and root in slightly 
moist sand. Then plant in 
clean soil.
