🌱 Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate some direct sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays.

• Water: Water sparingly; allow the soil to dry completely between watering. Overwatering can cause root rot.

• Humidity: Thrives in low to moderate humidity.

• Temperature: Ideal range 15°C–30°C (60°F–85°F). Protect from frost and cold drafts.

• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix.

• Fertiliser: Feed once a month during spring and summer with diluted succulent fertiliser.

• Pet Friendly: ❌ No. Spines can irritate pets and humans if touched.
