How to Care for the Plant
Water
When you water, the tubercles will expand to allow for increased water storage. The flowers emerge from the axils of these tubercles on the previous year's growth, which accounts for their interesting halo effect. The cactus mustn't be exposed to prolonged dampness and sitting water. Never let your cactus sit in a dish of water.
Fertilizer
Lastly, make sure to fertilize during the growing season for the best results.
Sunlight
Full sun to part shade.
