How to grow

Cultivation

Grow indoors in a free-draining, peat-free cactus and succulent compost in bright, filtered light. Allow soil to dry out between watering and use a cact and succulent feed every two months during the growing period. Keep in a cool location of around 15℃ (59℉) to ensure dormancy during the winter months. Plants prefer to be pot-bound. Avoid over-watering and strong sunlight. See houseplant cacti and succulent cultivation for further advice

Propagate by leaf or stem cuttings or by division of offsets in spring or summer
