Water the cactus, not directly from the top of the ball, but slowly pour the water around the flowerpot onto the flower soil. This prevents the sphere from spotting or rotting. Pure water should be used for watering, and tap water that has been left in the air for 1-2 days can also be used. Usually, water supply can be done once every 7 days, once every 3 days in summer and once every 15-20 days in winter.

In order to prevent the ball of cactus from appearing ugly spots or even rotting, you can't directly pour water from the top of the ball into the flowerpot when watering. Instead, water should be poured slowly around the flowerpot onto the flower soil. When they slowly infiltrate into the soil, the plants can absorb water.
