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

Soil

Be sure to use cactus and succulent potting mix

Temperature

The optimum temperature range is between 15 to 35 °C. However, they are not frosted hardy. The mature plants can tolerate a minimum temperature of -4 °C, but the growth gets slow or stops for the period.

Container

This 10" pot I got at Home Depot contained 4 separate plants
