Care tips and planting reminders: place this cactus in porous, well-draining soil such as a 1:1 mix of cactus soil and an amendment like pumice, perlite, or lava rock to ensure proper drainage. Introduce sunlight gradually to avoid sunburn; do not place newly received plants immediately into full, direct sun. Water only when the soil is completely dry, and refrain from watering until the plant has established roots; avoid watering during the winter or dormant season. Due to shipping, your plant may look more compact or slightly different in tone than the online photos—this is normal and should recover after acclimation.
