Pachy Cactus

Plant Bio

Cacti are great plants for busy people who want something to sit on a sunny windowsill, but don’t want to spend too much time looking after them.This beautifully rounded, glossy green cactus has distinct deep ribs running down the plant, with clutches of golden yellow radial spines protruding out. Native to Mexico this cactus in it’s natural habitat can grow to a large plant with funnel shaped yellow flowers from mid-summer but over here it is unlikely to flower, and really it is an attactive plant just as it is.

Light

This cactus needs plenty of bright, indirect light, with an occasional dose of sun – but avoid harsh sunlight as this may scorch the plant if it has not been acclimatised.

Watering

Allow the soil of your Cactus to begin to dry-out before watering. Do not overwater or allow the soil to completely dry out. Experiment to find the perfect balance for your cactus.

Humidity

The Cactus thrives in normal to dry household humidity. Native to environments with much wetter air, it is more tolerant to higher humidity than many other cacti.

Feed

Feed once or twice a month during the growing season.

Toxicity

Considered non-toxic, however the spines are sharp so please take care when handling.
