Growing Information

The Molesting-Spined Cholla grows upright in a clumping form, reaching up to 3 feet in height with a spread of 2 to 3 feet. It requires full sun exposure, ideally 6 or more hours daily. Watering should be infrequent, allowing the soil to dry out completely between sessions. Use well-draining cactus mix or sandy soil to prevent root rot. This cactus is hardy in USDA zones 8 through 11, making it suitable for warm climates.
