It’s March, it sounds like almost early Spring.
Unfortunately, in here, east coast, it is still cold winter.
Since I cannot wait for gardening season, I just planted cactuses into new Italian new pots:)
This was my first time experience to plant cactuses. My wonderful summer days in California made me to do this.
They need super easy maintenance and they are pretty happy with a lot of sun and a little water.
Now I have all my orchids with waiting their next blooming and these new Californian style cactuses, they are all next each other with being in the best sun light spot in my kitchen to make me feel blight and happy until our cherry blossom starts blooming!!

Maintenance for cactuses.
Light: These plants like bright, but not direct, sunlight. Move them outside during the summer (see Blooming Tips below).
Temperature: During the growing season, they have a wide range, from 55ºF to 70ºF. During the rest period, a colder spell of 50ºF is essential.
Water: Water as a normal houseplant during the summer months and when the buds begin to show. During the resting period, only water when the soil is dry to the touch.
Potting Soils and Repotting: Use a regular potting mix. Repot at the beginning of the growing season.
Fertilizer: Fertilize during the growing season with a standard fertilizer. Reduce fertilizer during the growing season.
Common Problems: As with succulents and desert cacti, these plants should not be watered heavily during the rest period.
Root rot will result. Advanced root rot can only be treated by taking new cuttings and starting over. Fortunately, these plants root easily from cutting. Failure to bloom is usually caused by an inadequate rest period and/or not taking the plant outside during the summer months.
