Growing Information

The Pine Cone Cactus prefers a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix and should be planted in gritty soil to encourage rooting. It requires full sun exposure and very low watering—only water when the soil is completely dry. This clumping cactus grows best in USDA zones 8 through 11 and blooms white to pale flowers from spring to summer.

Plant Condition Disclosure

Important Note
