Goran, shouldn't your cacti be deprived of water throughout the winter months? I do this to avoid root rot because the sun is not shinning as much and is not as strong as in the summer.
PEACE & LOVE
YES, U ARE TELLING TRUTH. BUT I WAS TALKING BOUT WHOLE YEAR WATERING.
AND GUY WATER IT ONLY THREE TIME PER YEAR!!!! THREE TIMES!!! NOT ENOUGH FOR CACTI GROWTH BUT ENOUGH FOR LIFE SUSTAIN. HOW LONG? 3 YEARS MAX! AFTER THAT CACTI WILL BE SO WEAK, U KNOW THE END.
ALSO, I WATER MY CACTI 4 TIMES IN WINTER TIME. ONCE FOR EACH MONTH. CAUSE I HAVE 28 YEARS OLD ONES. HUGE THEY ARE. AND IN WINTER TIMES THEY ARE GIVING ME BIGGEST PARTS OF SEED PODS, COUNTING ALL OF THEM, SEEDS TROUGH THE YEAR.
5-10 YEAR OLD PEYO NEEDS WATER 2-3 TIMES IN WINTER TIME.
HE DOESN'T NEED WATER AT ALL! BUT I HATE WHEN THEY SHRUMBLES AND SHRINK. SKIN SOFTENS AND START TO LOOK LIKE ROOTING APPLE.
COUPLE WATERING TIMES WILL STOP THIS BEHAVIOR.
TELL ME, DO U HAVE DESERT CONDITIONS AT HOME? DO U HAVE CLIME LIKE TEXAS IN WINTER? WE HAVE JUST OPPOSITE FROM NATURE. TEXAS AND MEXICO RAINFALLS ARE AT PEAK IN FALL TIME TROUGH FIRST WINTER MONTHS! HURRICANE TIME! WHEN IT STOPS?
SO LITTLE CUP OF WATER ONCE PER MONTH CANT DO ANY DAMAGE. I DO THAT EVERY YEAR PAST 1' YEARS AND HAVE NO PROBLEMS. JUST LIKE MY MENTOR.
