🌱 Care Guide

Light:
Prefers bright light and can tolerate several hours of direct sunlight. Gradually introduce it to stronger sunlight to prevent sunburn.

Water:
Water sparingly. Allow the potting mix to dry out completely before watering again. During its dormant period, reduce watering significantly and avoid overwatering.

Humidity:
Prefers low to moderate humidity and does not require misting.

Temperature:
Best grown in warm conditions between 18°C to 30°C. Protect from frost and prolonged exposure to temperatures below 10°C.

Soil:
Use a very well-draining cactus and succulent mix with plenty of perlite, pumice or coarse sand to prevent water retention.

Fertiliser:
Feed lightly with a diluted cactus and succulent fertiliser during the active growing season. Avoid over-fertilising.

Pet Friendly:
Generally considered non-toxic, but keep away from pets and children to prevent chewing or ingestion.
