FAQ:

Question: Do cactus plant live in artificial light?

A: Saguaro cacti, native to the Sonoran Desert, thrive in natural sunlight and are not well-suited for prolonged periods of artificial light. While they can tolerate high temperatures, replicating their natural conditions indoors can be challenging. If growing a Saguaro cactus indoors, it’s crucial to provide as much direct sunlight as possible, ideally near a south-facing window. While supplemental artificial light can be used, it’s not a substitute for natural sunlight. Saguaro cacti are slow-growing and have specific environmental requirements, so ensuring their overall well-being indoors requires attention to their native habitat conditions.
