Home gardening tips for mugwort and cactus cultivation

Guidance is being provided for families maintaining common household plants, specifically mugwort and cacti, to ensure their health and safety.

Mugwort is noted for its resilience and year-round harvestability. To maintain a healthy plant, it is recommended to avoid placing it in overly shaded areas, as the plant thrives in good light or partial shade. Proper placement and watering are essential for continuous growth and new shoots.

For those growing cacti, several safety and care precautions are advised. Due to sharp spines, cacti should be kept out of reach of children and pets to prevent injury. Additionally, cacti require significant sunlight—often 6 to 8 hours of direct light—and should be kept in dry, well-ventilated areas to prevent root rot and fungal diseases, making high-humidity rooms like kitchens or bathrooms unsuitable.
