Care Tips

☀️ Light: Bright indirect light to soft direct sun. Too little light may reduce growth and leaf density.

💧 Water: Water when the top half of the soil feels dry. This cactus enjoys more moisture than desert types but still prefers to dry out between waterings.

🌡️ Humidity: Tolerates normal household humidity without any special requirements.

🌱 Growth: A vigorous grower that develops woody stems over time and can form a small shrub-like structure.

🐾 Pet Safety: ❌ Toxic to cats & dogs if ingested.

A rare and beautifully unusual cactus — perfect for collectors who love plants that break the rules.
