Light
-
Needs lots of bright, direct sunlight—at least 6 hours daily.
-
Indoors: a sunny south- or west-facing window is perfect.
-
Outdoors: full sun, but if you live somewhere super hot, give it a little afternoon shade.
Water
-
Follow the “soak and dry” rule: water thoroughly, then let soil dry completely before watering again.
-
Spring & summer (growing season): water every 2–3 weeks depending on how fast soil dries.
-
Fall & winter (dormant period): cut back a lot—maybe once a month or less.
-
Overwatering = root rot, its #1 enemy.
Temperature & Humidity
-
Loves 70–80°F (21–27°C) in summer.
-
Can tolerate cooler temps (down to about 50°F / 10°C) if kept dry.
-
Not frost-hardy—bring indoors if temps drop below freezing.
-
Prefers dry air—no need for extra humidity.
Soil & Potting
-
Needs fast-draining cactus/succulent soil.
-
Terracotta pot with drainage hole = best choice.
-
Repot every 2–3 years in spring, but be gentle with those spines!
Extra Tips
-
Rotate occasionally so it grows evenly.
-
If happy, it produces small offsets (“pups”) around its base—you can separate these to grow new plants.
-
With good sun and care, it may reward you with cute pinkish flowers in a ring around the top! 🌸
-
Handle with care—those “soft” hairs hide sharper spines underneath. Tweezers help if you get stuck!
