Cactus mix with high perlite/sand content for excellent drainage.
Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly in winter dormancy, increase slightly during active growth (spring/summer).

Apply diluted cactus fertilizer monthly during growing season only. Avoid fertilizing in winter.
Remove damaged spines carefully with tweezers; do not prune stems unless rot occurs.
