Thelocactus nidulans - Forma geometrica e fioritura spettacolare

Light: Needs direct and strong light, making it perfect for a bright spot, such as a south-facing window. Lack of light can cause the plant to stretch and lose its natural shape.

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

In winter, watering should be reduced almost completely, as the plant enters dormancy.

Soil: Use a well-drained mix, specific for cacti, made of sandy earth, perlite, and a little compost.

Ensure excellent drainage to prevent water accumulation.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 20-30°C, but tolerates lower temperatures down to 5°C if the soil is dry.

Avoid exposure to frost or temperatures below 0°C.

Fertilizing: During the active period, apply a fertilizer for cacti once a month.

Fertilizing is not needed during the winter rest.

Repotting: Repot the plant every 2-3 years, in spring, using a pot with good drainage. Handle the plant carefully to avoid pricks.
