Care instructions

To maintain the health of this delicate cactus, it is essential to provide a well-drained environment and proper light exposure:

🌿 Light: Preferably strong indirect light or filtered sun. Too much direct sun can cause burns on the cactus surface.

🌡️ Temperature: Grows best between 10-30°C. Tolerates low temperatures down to 5°C, but must be protected from frost.

💧 Watering: Moderate to low! Water once every 2-3 weeks in the warm season and once every 4-6 weeks in winter, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.

🌱 Substrate: A well-drained mix for cacti, with sand, gravel, and perlite, to avoid water stagnation.

🌿 Fertilizing: Apply a special cactus fertilizer (NPK 5-10-10) once every 2 months during the growth period (spring-summer).

🪴 Repotting: Recommended once every 3-4 years, to give roots space and renew the substrate.
