بذور مونولومة سوكوترانا

Soil type: Requires sharply draining, gritty or sandy soil with high mineral content—ideally a cactus mix with added pumice or perlite.

Watering frequency: Water very sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. In winter, reduce to near-dormant levels.

Light exposure: Thrives in full sun to very bright indirect light; indoor growers should provide south-facing exposure or supplemental grow lights.

Temperature requirements: Prefers warm conditions; optimal range is 22–35°C (72–95°F). Protect from temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

Fertilization: Feed with a diluted cactus fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring to early autumn).

Pruning: Rarely needed; prune only dead or diseased stems.

Common pests: Watch for mealybugs and spider mites, particularly in dry indoor environments.

Other care practices: Ensure excellent airflow to mimic natural arid habitats and reduce fungal risks. Avoid high humidity environments.
