How do I know if my cactus soil is too compacted?
Living in a city, I really cherish every bit of green I can bring indoors. I've been focusing on a few adorable cacti, and I've noticed that they don’t seem to be growing much. I often water them sparingly, but I can't shake the feeling that the soil might be compacted. I mixed some commercial cactus mix with perlite, but I don't know how to evaluate if my soil structure is adequate for air circulation and root expansion. Can anyone share tips on how to check for compaction in cactus soil? I'd love to keep my little prickly friends happy!
