Extremely well-draining mineral-based substrate; use pumice, coarse sand, and perlite with minimal organic matter.
Very low water needs. Allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid all moisture in the crown during winter dormancy.
Requires full sun exposure to maintain compact growth and prevent etiolation; protect from intense midday heat in very young specimens.
Apply a highly diluted cactus fertilizer only during the active growing season (spring and summer).
Minimal pruning required. Remove dead or damaged tissue carefully, being mindful of the toxic, irritating milky sap.
These are the insects and pathogens that commonly interact with this plant, including pests, parasites, and organisms typically associated with its care.
