In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For most cacti of desert origin, a good general soil mixture consists of two parts garden soil, two parts coarse sand, and one part peat. This mixture is meant to drain well, and not harden when it is dry. Use a clay pot as well--their heaviness helps keep bulkier cacti from tipping over; they also allow the soil to breathe, preventing the roots from rotting. Test the moisture level by pressing your finger into the top inch of the soil. If it is completely dry, water the cactus fully, allowing excess water to drain out the hole in the bottom of the pot Cacti need different amounts of water depending on whether they’re growing or dormant. During the growing season of March to September, water them, on average, once a month. During the dormant season of October to February, water only once per month at the most.  Watering too much during the dormant season is the main cause of complications with cacti. Most cacti need lots of sun. In the summer, keep the cactus outdoors, being careful not to let it get too much rain. Start it in a shady area at first, gradually moving it into sunnier areas to avoid sunburn. In the winter, place the pot in a southern- or western- facing window, which have the best sun exposure. Cacti like cooler temperatures during their dormant period in the winter. But be careful to keep them out of the way of drafts--away from leaky windows and off the floor near doors. A healthy temperature range at night in the winter is 45 - 60 degrees Fahrenheit (7 - 16 degrees Celsius), so a basement or a room that gets less heat would be suitable storage areas during this period. Unless you have a cold-hardy cactus, be careful not to let the room temperature drop below freezing, since most cacti can’t tolerate frost. You’ll know it’s time to transplant your cactus to a larger pot when either it becomes too top-heavy for the pot to support it, or when it grows within one inch of the edge of the pot. Use a standard potting mixture consisting of two parts garden soil, two parts coarse sand, and one part peat. Replant the cactus at the same level in the soil as it was in the original pot. A common result of over-watering is root rot, which happens when roots sit for too long in poorly-drained, moist soil. Before repotting, gently brush away the soil from the roots after removing the old soil ball from the original pot. Inspect the root system, and cut away any soft black roots, or any dried-up roots that appear dead. Cut just up to the part of the root that is still living. You can avoid root rot by making sure the your pot has a hole in the bottom for drainage, and that it never sits in excess water that collects in a saucer underneath the pot. If the roots are damaged when you remove the cactus from its original pot, or if you needed to cut away dead roots, let the cactus sit for about ten days out of its soil. This will allow it time to form calluses around the damaged or cut areas. Place it on a piece of paper, out of the sun but away from cool temperatures.  Cacti do best after repotting if you transplant them during the growing season (March to September). Most cacti should generally be repotted every one-to-two years. Most fertilizers are given a number rating that indicates how much nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium they contain (in the form: N-Ph.-Po.) An example of a low-nitrogen fertilizer appropriate for cacti is 10-30-20, where the Nitrogen content is rated at 10.  Too much nitrogen gives the cactus a flabby texture that impedes its growth.  Never fertilize a cactus during the dormant season (October to February). If the skin of your cactus is dusty or dirty, it may not be able to photosynthesize properly. Wash off this residue with a rag or sponge and a solution of with one drop of dish soap. Then rinse the plant under a faucet or with a soaked sponge.
Summary: Use an appropriate soil mixture. Water only when the soil is dry. Adjust watering according to the seasons. Provide enough sunlight. Monitor the room temperature. Repot your cactus according to its growth. Cut away dead roots. Don’t immediately repot damaged roots. Use a fertilizer low in nitrogen. Wash away dust and dirt.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: This can be difficult, but do your best to go about your day normally and pleasantly. Don’t spend all your time trying to get them to talk or please them once they’ve started sulking. Show them that their sulking doesn’t elicit the extra attention they want, and hopefully they’ll stop sulking or do it less in the future.  Instead of giving in, just smile at them, be polite, and stick to your normal routine. Don't enable their behavior. Letting your significant other sulk will only hurt both of you in the relationship. If they keep sulking, address the problem and be upfront without giving them the response they want. Repeatedly asking them what’s wrong will only reinforce their behaviour. Make sure to acknowledge their sulking, but don’t give in to it. Instead of asking what’s wrong, tell them something like “I know you’re upset. I’m not sure why, but I’m willing to talk about it whenever you’re ready.” If they hang around in stony silence, waiting for you to ask them what’s wrong or give them attention, remove yourself from the situation. Go to a different room and read for a bit, or go on a walk and get some fresh air. Being around a sulker can bring your mood down as well. Do your best to keep your spirits up and don’t let their sulking affect you too much. If the negativity really starts to get to you, try emotionally detaching from the situation a bit and simply observe.  While detaching and observing, think to yourself, “It’s a shame that they are so unhappy. I hope we can work this out in the future when they’re ready.”  Remind yourself that the sulking is their problem, not yours. Tell yourself that you don’t have to be around their behaviour, whether that means leaving for a while or breaking up for good. You don’t have to stick with them forever. Don't be afraid to enforce your boundaries in the relationship. Don't let the other person's sulking manipulate or pressure you into giving in.
Summary:
Don’t give in to their sulking. Address the situation if the problem continues. Get some space. Don’t take their behaviour to heart.
