Care Tips
Light
- Demands full light growing for most of the year, except during the winter cycle
- Acclimate to direct sunlight slowly to prevent scorching
- A southern exposure is perfect in the winter
Water
- Water on a regular basis during its first season in a new pot
- keep the soil moist, but not soggy
- During the winter cycle, the cactus should not be watered at all, with watering to resume in the early spring
Soil
- Like most cacti, this specimen demands sandy soil-bases that drain easily
- It is usually happy with the pre-packaged cactus soil found in common hardware stores
- To increase drainage for a picky plant, mix in a 1:1 ratio of perlite or bark
Fertilizer
- Monthly feeding of low nitrogen fertilizer
- Fertilization should stop one month before the planned winter cycle for the plant’s health
- Any organic cactus fertilizer can be used
Repotting
- Re-potting should take place in the summer, after the year’s bloom has finished
- Remember to water the plant regularly to promote the growth of a healthy root system during its first year in the new pot
Propagation
- Any fully grown pad from this cactus may be broken off cleanly in the early summer and re-potted for propagation purposes
- Cuttings work best when grouped in threes or more, and should be buried an inch deep in the soil
- Remember to water regularly to promote the growth of a healthy root system in the first year after propagation
