Hardiness:

• Indoor Hardiness: Ideal for indoor environments.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Protect from temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate some direct morning sunlight, but avoid harsh midday sun to prevent sunburn.
• Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
• Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when the plant is less active.
• Pruning: Prune as needed to maintain shape and encourage fuller growth. Remove any damaged or dead segments.
• Feeding: Feed with a cactus-specific fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Humidity: Tolerates typical indoor humidity but appreciates a slightly more humid environment. Mist occasionally or place near other plants to increase humidity.
