🌵 Care Guide

  • Light: Full sun → bright indirect light (intensifies red color)
    • Protect from scorching midday sun in summer
  • Water: Dry soil completely between waterings; very sparing in winter
    • Wrinkled stems = needs water; overwater = fatal rot
  • Soil: Extra gritty, fast-draining cactus mix (70–80% perlite/pumice + 20–30% organic)
