Care

• Light : Very bright with direct or filtered sunlight. Strong light is essential to preserve the variegation.

• Watering : Light. Water only when the soil is completely dry. Reduce watering significantly in winter.

• Temperature : Ideal between 18 and 30°C. Tolerates heat well. Protect from frost.

• Substrate : Very well-draining potting soil for cacti and succulent plants.

• Growth : Slow to moderate growth. Variegated parts may grow more slowly.

• General care : Handle with care due to the thorns. Avoid overwatering. Insufficient exposure may cause the plant to revert to green.
