HOW TO: GROW YOUR CACTUS
Here at SOS - We understand the slow process of growing your hair. We use a special formula which contains our unique Cactus Extract system - helping to grow and encourage healthy hair. We also know that growing your hair works very similar to growing a cactus, both take a lot of patience, tender love and care under a strict routine. With every purchase of our monthly subscription, we include a cactus seed for you to grow along side your hair. Here's a few instructions on how to grow your cactus alongside your hair with SOS Haircare.
-
Cacti seed
-
Small Plant pot
-
Free draining compost (or cactus compost)
-
1 transparent plastic pot
-
Fine grit
-
A nice sunny windowsill
Instructions:
-
Fill the plant pot with a moist loom based pasteurized compost (or cactus compost) and gently form down and level
- Empty your SOS cactus seeds and scatter over the surface of the soil, taking care not to sow them too deep
- Gently sprinkle a thin layer of fine grit over the seeds, covering the surface of the compost
- Cover over with transparent lid and place on a sunny windowsill
- WAIT… This is where the magic happens, be patient, both your hair and the cactus are working hard to grow
- Once you see your cactus (will be around 1cm big), remove the lid and sprey the surface with water once a week
HINTS & TIPS:
We advise to do the first process in a plastic pot and then re-pot in 6 months to a terracotta pot, to provide nutrients from new compost.
Once your cactus is established - water Infrequently. Let the soil dry out completely before watering.
Over watering can cause Root problems - gently does it
If its dead - Just like your hair, you would cut it and start again. This is the exact same for your cactus. Throw it away and start again!
BE PATIENT - To become a big, beautiful cactus, takes a lot of time and has a difficult start to life, just like growing your hair. Follow the guidelines and stick with the process and you will eventually have a strong, beautiful flowering cactus and strong, shiny hair!
