Cactus Care

✔ After Arrival: Let your cactus rest in a shaded, dry area for 3–5 days before planting. Use a well-draining cactus mix with added perlite or pumice. Avoid watering during the acclimation period.
✔ Long-Term Care: Thrives in full sun to bright indirect light. Water deeply only when the soil is bone dry—about every 2–3 weeks during warm months and even less in winter. This cactus prefers dry air and good airflow.
