Growing Information

This cactus prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct sun exposure. It thrives in well-draining cactus or succulent soil mixes, with a preference for sandy soil. Watering should be done sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, and reduced during winter months. Suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9-11, it can also be kept indoors in cooler climates. The plant typically grows to a height of approximately 6-12 inches, with width varying as it matures.
