Care Guide
These cacti need plenty of light and should be planted under 40% shade cloth, at most. The more light they receive, the more often they will flower. They are 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.
