Care:

Light: Needs bright, direct light to grow properly and bloom.

Place the cactus in a sunny spot, such as a south-facing window.

Watering: Water moderately during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.

Reduce watering in autumn and almost stop during winter, when the plant rests.

Soil: Use a special cactus mix, well-drained, made of sand, perlite, and garden soil.

Avoid soils that retain moisture, as they can cause root rot.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 20-30°C in the warm season.

Tolerates low temperatures but not below 5°C. It is recommended to protect it from frost.

Fertilizing: Apply a liquid fertilizer for cacti once a month during the growing season. Do not fertilize in winter.

Repotting: Repot the plant every 2-3 years, depending on growth, using a pot with good drainage.
