Plant Care

• Soil: Prefers a free-draining cactus mix, ideally sandy or gravelly for good aeration and drainage.
• Watering: Water sparingly—only when the soil is completely dry, and even less frequently during the winter.
• Temperature: Tolerates a temperature range from about 10°C to 30°C. Protect from frost.
• Light: Requires full sun to partial shade; too much direct sunlight can cause sunburn, while too little can lead to stretching.
  Fertilising: Use a low-nitrogen, high-potassium cactus fertilizer, like a 5-10-10 ratio, during the growing season, every 4-6 weeks.
• Pruning: Generally requires little pruning, but may need occasional trimming to remove damaged parts or control size.
• Mulching: Not necessary, but a light gravel mulch can help the soil surface stay clean and reduce evaporation.
• Pest Control: Monitor for common pests such as scale and mealybugs. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
• Flowering: Produces large, fragrant white flowers that bloom at night during the summer months.
  Potting: Suitable for container growing. Choose a container with excellent drainage and a depth to accommodate the root system.
  Feeding Regime: Minimal feeding; over-fertilization can lead to excessive growth at the expense of flowering.
