Basic Care Requirements:

Water: This plant prefers a dry environment over humid therefore, keep watering to a minimum and ensure the plant is in a well-draining soil mix so that the soil does not become water logged. After watering, ensure the excess water has been removed from the drip tray to avoid root rot.

Light: This plant requires full sun during the day although, a shady spot will also work for this plant. To encourage blooms in the summer, place in a spot that gets direct sun throughout the day.

Soil: A high-quality, well-draining premium cacti mix.

Humidity: This plant enjoys a dry spot over a humid spot. This plant is also cold tolerant which is handy during our cold, wintery months. 

Fertilizer: Use a balanced fertiliser once a month during Spring and Summer. We recommend the Dyna Gro Foliage-Pro as this fertilizer contains all the required nutrients that will support foliage growth in your plant.

The Dyna Gro Pro-TeKt is a recommended suppliment that encourages cellular growth and strengthening that will aid your plant in protecting itself against pests.
