Sorry, my English isn’t very good but I like to give it a go.

I am now living for nearly a year here in Albox and I haven’t much luck in planting cacti. I don’t know much about them but I like them. I am struggling with the animals here which are eating them or the cacti are dying and I don’t know why.

Is there someone who can give me some advice how I  can successfully planting cacti.

Here is a US site on 'how to grow cactus'.  Most important - do not over water.......https://www.wikihow.com/Grow-a-Cactus

BTW - for anyone who lives in fire prone country, cactus can act a a very good fire-brake.......E

Forgot to mention - if you have trouble reading the site, open it in Google and use their translator............E

Thank you very much for the informations. Some are very helpful.

Most of my cacti are not in a pot. They are growing in the ground. I think that made it a little bit more difficult. But we will see.

On our ground there are a lot of dead figcacti, the beautiful Great cacti.I want to plant new ones in autumn. So I have to learn as much as possible.
