10โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
It is 4/5 years old and I put it outdoors once the weather warmed up now it's a mess. I'm dying to save it.. literally ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™ˆ
Maybe itโ€™s time to give it some water you lost water him11 months ago.

Ladyfinger cacti, like other desert cacti, thrive on minimal watering and prefer a "soak and dry" approach. During the growing season (spring and summer), water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom, then allow the soil to dry completely between waterings, about every 2-4 weeks. In the dormant season (fall and winter), reduce watering significantly, possibly only once a month or even less. ยฎ
Detailed Watering Schedule:
Spring/Summer (Growing Season):
โ€ข Water deeply when the soil is completely dry, about every 2-4 weeks. *
โ€ข Use the "soak and dry" method: water thoroughly until water drains from the bottom, then allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.
Fall/Winter (Dormant Season):
โ€ข Reduce watering significantly, potentially only once a month or even less. ยฎ
โ€ข Check the soil moisture with a finger; if it's still damp, wait longer before watering.
Thanks Daniel, I don't need advise on the watering I need to advice on saving the plant..
Put it in your house under the light.Give water weekly. ๐Ÿ˜‰ It worked when i did it.
