Know before you buy
This cactus requires at least six hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain its shape and health. A south-facing window is usually the best indoor location to ensure it receives enough light.
Water sparingly and only when the soil has dried out completely. Overwatering is the most common cause of issues, so always check the soil moisture levels before adding more water.
Use a well-draining, coarse cactus or succulent potting mix. This ensures that excess water can escape quickly, preventing the roots from sitting in moisture.
No, it is a slow-growing succulent. You can expect it to maintain its sculptural form for a long time without needing frequent repotting or pruning.
Yes, it can thrive outdoors in full sun, provided you live in a climate that doesn't experience freezing temperatures. If you live in a colder region, it is best kept as an indoor plant.
