Cactus/succulent mix with high mineral content (perlite, pumice) for maximum drainage.
Water deeply but infrequently. Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce significantly in winter dormancy.
Requires direct sunlight or very bright indirect light. Avoid low light to prevent etiolation and rot.
Apply diluted liquid fertilizer monthly during active growth (Spring/Summer). No fertilization in winter.
Wear protective gloves as sap is toxic and irritating. Prune shape in spring after frost risk.
