What you’ll receive:
A healthy, rooted Espostoa lanata shipped bare-root. Available in size is 4"- 6". No pot or soil included; natural variations in wool density may be present.
After arrival
Unpack gently and avoid pulling on the wool. Place in bright light or near a south-facing window. Allow the cactus to rest for 2–3 days before the first watering so roots can adjust to the new soil.
Transplant tip
Use a gritty, sharply draining cactus mix in a container just slightly wider than the plant’s base. Keep the stem above the soil line to protect its wool. After transplanting, wait 5–7 days before watering lightly.
