Available space and pot stability should keep pace with growth. A bright position helps avoid weak or stretched stems; increase sun exposure gradually after moving a plant. Explore Myrtillocactus too.

General care

  • Light: Bright position, with gradual sun acclimatisation to avoid stem scorch.
  • Watering: Water during growth after the compost dries and reduce in dormancy.
  • Compost: Free-draining mix and a stable pot suited to the plant and roots.
  • Temperature: Protect from frost, persistent rain and wind that could topple tall pots.
  • Maintenance: Watch the stability of branches and handle with protection, avoiding standing water.
