Know before you buy
Yes, this plant is non-toxic to both pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with curious animals.
To keep its signature silvery-blue hue and encourage potential pink or lavender tinges, place it in a spot with full sun or bright, indirect light. Without enough light, the plant may begin to stretch and lose its compact, geometric shape.
This plant is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season, water only when the soil feels dry to the touch, and reduce frequency significantly during the winter months.
It requires a well-draining medium to prevent root rot. Use a commercial cactus or succulent potting mix, which is specifically formulated to provide the drainage this plant needs to thrive.
The 'Cubic Frost' is best suited for indoor environments or as a seasonal patio plant. It is not frost-hardy and should be kept in a temperature-controlled space between 21°C and 29°C (70°F to 85°F).
Not at all. This variety is easy to propagate using leaf cuttings, making it a great choice for beginners interested in expanding their collection.
