Know before you buy
This cactus prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade. Avoid placing it in direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the unique curly leaves.
As an epiphyte, this cactus prefers its soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Ensure the pot has good drainage and avoid letting the roots sit in standing water.
The Curly Sue is shipped for its foliage, and while it has the potential to produce stunning pink flowers, it may not arrive in bloom. With proper care and maturity, you can look forward to seeing flowers develop.
Not at all. The Curly Sue is easily propagated from stem cuttings, making it a great choice if you want to expand your collection or share the plant with friends.
It arrives planted in a 4-inch pot with appropriate soil. If you decide to repot it in the future, use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix to ensure the roots remain healthy.
