• Soil type: Prefers well-drained, sandy, or gritty soil suitable for cacti, with excellent drainage.

• Watering frequency: Water thoroughly during the growing season, allowing soil to dry out completely between waterings; reduce watering in winter.

• Light exposure: Requires full sun, ideally at least 6-8 hours per day, for optimal growth.

• Temperature requirements: Thrives in warm climates and can tolerate brief temperatures down to 25°F (-4°C), but requires protection from prolonged frost.

• Fertilization: Use a low-nitrogen cactus fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote strong growth.

• Pruning: Rarely needed, but damaged stems can be trimmed back to maintain appearance.

• Common pests: Look out for scale insects and mealybugs; treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed.
