Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Place in the brightest spot available, ideally on a sunny windowsill or in a room with plenty of natural light. Rotate the pot occasionally to encourage balanced growth.
Watering
Allow the compost to dry out completely before watering. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering significantly during autumn and winter.
Humidity
Normal household humidity is ideal. Cacti prefer dry air and do not require misting.
Feeding
Apply a cactus fertiliser once a month during spring and summer. Feeding is generally unnecessary during winter.
