The cactus will shiver when watered which is a response to absorb water. It should not be sprayed but instead water the soil only when it becomes dry.

Will cacti grow better if it is watered more or less?

It depends upon the type of cactus, the season, and the environment. But generally, cactus plants grow better if they're watered less. Generally, they should be watered only when their soil is almost but not completely dry. That's during the growing season. During dormancy, they shouldn't be watered at all.Most plants don't like to be non stop waterlogged or wet. Overwatering damages plant tissue and encourages fungal problems such as stem base rot. Overwatering and waterlogging can be avoided by using a moisture meter, to tell when moisture is almost completely absent from soil. It's at that point that the cactus plant needs water, during the growing season.


A watering can holds 4.2 liters if a small cactus requires 310 ml of water once every 3 weeks. How many of the same cactus plants can be watered at once without refilling the watering can?

Thirteen cactus plants can be watered once with a 4.2 liter capacity watering can. There are 4,200 milliliters in 4.2 liters. Thirteen plants use up 4,030 milliliters of water from the can. That leaves 170 milliliters, which won't meet the watering needs of cactus plant number 14. So it's at cactus plant number 14 that the gardener needs to refill the watering can.
