This type of cactus requires full sun exposure and well-draining soil, similar to a sandy or gravelly mix. Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry, especially during cooler months to prevent root rot. It is drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering. Protect from frost as it is generally not cold hardy.
