Cactus mix with high perlite, pumice, and gravel. Must drain instantly to prevent rot.
Water sparingly during active growth (spring/summer). Dry completely in winter dormancy to prevent root rot.
Requires full sun exposure for compact growth; rotate regularly to prevent leaning towards light.
Dilute cactus fertilizer once a month during growing season only. Avoid overfeeding.
Remove dead tubercles carefully; avoid damaging the root system or crown.
