How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water sparingly once every two weeks in the summer, and once a month for the rest of the year. Avoid overwatering
Pruning
The Desert Cactus can often grow very tall with many arms, resulting in a “top-heavy” plant that could potentially topple over. If this is the case, time to prune! Follow the first step in propagation (listed below) to safely prune your cactus.
Fertilizer
Fertilize lightly (half a dose) once a month in the summer
