**Climate Considerations for Pune: Protecting Your Cacti**
Pune's climate can be quite challenging for cacti, especially during the hot summer months when temperatures can soar. While cacti are generally drought-resistant, they can be susceptible to scalding if exposed to intense, direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Here are some tips to ensure your cacti thrive in Pune's climate:
- **Provide Shade**: During the peak summer months, consider placing your cacti in a location that receives filtered sunlight or partial shade during the hottest parts of the day. This will help prevent sunburn and scalding.
- **Monitor Watering**: While cacti prefer to dry out between waterings, the heat can cause them to lose moisture more quickly. Keep an eye on the soil and adjust your watering schedule as needed, ensuring they don’t dry out completely.
- **Humidity Awareness**: Pune's monsoon season brings increased humidity, which can lead to rot if the soil retains too much moisture. Ensure your pots have good drainage and avoid overwatering during this time.
