Darya Pozharova is a cactus enthusiast, participant in all-Russian plant exhibitions, and author of a popular blog about prickly pets, where all aspects of their care are discussed. Her collection includes over 5000 adult plants, including rare species of desert... cacti. We tend to consider cacti the most undemanding plants, capable of surviving in any conditions. But the truth is that these amazing creatures often perish from our "care": excessive watering, improper soil, and lack of light. Cacti are not just spiny balls on the windowsill, but complex organisms with special needs, deserving of attention and understanding. You are holding a detailed and honest guide to keeping cacti at home—from the first purchase to flowering, wintering, transplanting, and even grafting. The book discusses typical mistakes, myths, diseases, and ways to save plants. Step-by-step instructions, checklists, and tables will help both beginners and passionate enthusiasts. You will also learn which cacti bloom in winter, how to adapt foreign plants to our climate, and what the mysterious field numbers mean. After reading this book, your relationship with prickly pets will move to a new level—from anxious uncertainty to conscious care and a professional approach.
