I am wondering how often Is hould feed my cactus? Is there a special forumla to use? In the winter I bring the cactus inside due to the cold. It does not get a lot of light in the winter.

Hey Tara!
Since they go dorment for the winter due to low light do not fertilize them at all and only water sparingly....I'd place it in a window that gets some sun!
Only fertilize them come spring when they start to show signs of growing again.
Use a fert lower in nitrogen such as 10-30-15 and delute by half every other week!
In early fall stop fertilizing and cut back on the watering!
Thanks Ron. The cactus is in my kitchen window.
Yes I wait till Spring just as they are in bud growth then feed.
