This cactus thrives in bright, direct sunlight. Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-4 weeks. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent rot. It prefers temperatures above 50°F (10°C) and can tolerate dry air. Repot only when necessary, using a well-draining cactus mix.
