Plant Care

• 🌞 Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but avoid intense afternoon sun.
• 💧 Water sparingly every 3-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Let the soil dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
• 🌡️ Prefers warm temperatures (70°F to 85°F). Protect from frost or freezing conditions.
• 🌱 Use well-draining cactus soil and plant in a pot with drainage holes. Avoid overwatering as this cactus is prone to rot.
