Care guide

These cacti need plenty of light and should be planted in full sun to simulate their natural environment. They are incredibly sensitive to overwatering and should be planted in a gritty, fast draining soil mix that does not hold much water. A mix involving Akadama and pumice is ideal. Water often in summer, but keep completely dry in winter.
