Instrucciones de cuidado
The Fairy Castle Cactus thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers warm temperatures. It can tolerate low humidity and requires minimal watering, making it an easy plant to care for. Ensure it is placed in a well-lit area and avoid overwatering.Suelo
This cactus prefers sandy soil with excellent drainage. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal, as it prevents water from pooling around the roots, which can lead to rot. Ensure the soil dries out completely between waterings.Fertilizante
Use a balanced cactus fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10. Fertilize sparingly, about once a month during the growing season, and avoid fertilizing during the dormancy period.Trasplante
Repot the Fairy Castle Cactus every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and handle the plant carefully to avoid damaging its delicate structure.Propagación
Propagate by taking stem cuttings during the growing season. Allow the cuttings to dry and callous over for a few days before planting them in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until new growth appears.Poda
Pruning is not typically necessary but can be done to remove any dead or damaged parts. Use clean, sharp tools to make clean cuts and avoid damaging the plant.Toxicidad
