Growing Information

This cactus thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-draining cactus or succulent soil. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. It has a low-growing, spreading habit, making it an excellent choice for ground cover in suitable climates ranging from USDA Zones 4 to 9.
