Care Tips
Light: It prefers a very well-lit environment.
Water: It’s good to have a drying period between watering them, but it should be deeply watered when you do water them.
Soil: It is best to choose a mixture of sandy soil and granular medium.
Potting: It is only required for them to be repotted once every couple of years. When repotting, use a planter with a diameter that’s a couple inches larger, so the plants have enough space to keep growing.
Temperature: They do best in temperatures over 70°F (21.1°C).
Humidity: This cactus does well in low humidity.

Care Instructions
Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.
To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.
Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
