Growing Information

This cactus thrives in full sun and requires watering only when the soil is completely dry to the touch. Use a well-drained succulent or cactus potting mix to ensure proper drainage. Upon arrival, the plant may appear dry or stressed; it is recommended to plant it in a pot and place it in a bright location without direct sunlight for a few days. Gradually introduce watering and sunlight to help the plant adjust and thrive. Note that plants in 2" pots are smaller and color may vary depending on growing conditions.
