1- Pursue Your Passion

If you really wanna start a business, first figure out what your passion is. Then start building up the foundation for your business according to what you love to do the most. When you will enjoy your work, your work will no longer remain work for you. It will become your favorite hobby

2- Work On Something That Others Don't Even Dare Considering

It's easy to be a copy cat in the market but what will make your business stand a class apart is the level of risk you will take by introducing something valuable that others have not even thought of. And be confident as bigger risks are always followed by bigger profit margins.

3- Keep your financial and force weapons ready all the time

Businesses are full of ups and downs. Anything can happen unexpectedly anytime. A wise entrepreneur always spends his resources carefully and in a calculated way. He always keeps something aside for the harsh times his business can be faced with. You should have savings in terms of money, time and energy for coping with the unfortunate times effectively.

4- Keep it Safe and Simple with Lower Budget

Don't add extra expenses to your business strategy. Plan out everything beforehand while keeping your budget as limited as possible. Don't waste your capital on setting up high-profile offices with a lavish decor or on showy marketing tactics. Keep everything simple and focus more on providing greater value in your products or services.

5- Be Prepared for Fierce Competition

If your idea is truly innovative and gets the attention from the customers right away then be prepared for being hit by the companies that will love to copy you. Before stepping into the market, make sure you have a strong vision regarding continuous improvements and innovations that become difficult to follow for your competitors.

1. Light:

Most of the cactus plants like bright light but this is not true for all kinds. The intensity of the light that a plant will thrive in depends on the species. If your plant is exposed to too much sun light and it started turning into yellowish or orangish, it means that plant is under too much stress and you should take an appropriate action. If your plant is receiving too little light its growth will be stopped. So it is necessary to grow your cactus where it will be in normal light. If your cactus is in pot then it will be easy for you to relocate it. Take it out of pot when it is grown enough stronger and healthier. 

2. Water:

 Remember that cactus in pots require more care in watering than in the ground. Most of the cactus plants have growth periods from spring to fall. While growing, cacti and succulents should be watered at least once a week. In winter seasons, increase the interval between watering and let the soil dry out completely before watering again. Indoor cactus plants should be watered as little as once a month depending on the dryness of the house.
Quick Tip: Take a wooden pencil and place it down through the soil to the bottom of the pot, when removed, if damp soil is on it don't water.

3. Fertilizer: 

Most species of  cactus like several small feeding, better than one large feeding. During the growing season, a balanced fertilizer, which has been diluted to 1/4 strength, can be added to the water for each watering.
Quick Tip: Balanced fertilizer has approximately equal proportions of Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium and is diluted to 1/4 strength.
