🌱 Care Guide

• Light:

  Loves bright light. Best in full sun to partial shade. Indoors, place in the brightest possible spot.

• Watering:

  Water moderately during the active growing season (spring–summer), using the soak and dry method. Allow soil to dry completely before watering again. Keep almost dry in winter.

• Soil:

  Requires very well-draining cactus/succulent soil. Add pumice, perlite, or coarse sand to improve aeration.

• Temperature:

  Prefers warmth (20–30°C). Protect from cold drafts and frost; minimum 10°C recommended.

• Fertilizer:

  During active growth, feed once a month with a diluted cactus fertilizer. Stop feeding in winter.
