Cactus planting?

Question

I have a cactus and have so far resisted the urge to plant it in my garden. If I was to put it in my garden now (british winter), would it live?

Answer 1

depends what type of cactus you have? a canadian prairie variety survives -30 and comes back in the spring, one from south africa would not. in general cactus retain water, thats why they're adapted to dry/desert conditions. in winter the water in the plant would freeze, turning it to mush on the first defrost. research the variety you have.

Answer 3

basically positioned the aloe contained in the floor and water them like a standard plant. they could also get an identical volume of fertilize. The cactus can get fertilize a million/4 the conventional volume about once a month. Water them once a week or till they're very dry

Answer 4

It depends on the cactus. None of them will withstand a frost, but you can grow them outdoors if you cover them up on frosty nights. A long cold spell would kill them. The flat ones are the hardiest. The big round ones normally need a minimum temperature of 5°C and that's harder to maintain.
