Tephrocactus geometricus 5x balls – TRAY 6x

Description:

Tray of 6x Tephrocactus geometricus 5x balls in 12cm diameter pot.

Growing in small clumps in the deserts of Argentina and Bolivia, Tephrocactus geometricus is adapted to extreme heat and drought. The almost spine-free, spherical segments of this rare cactus take on a deep purple under intense sun, and produce fabulous white-pink flowers in summer which last for just a single day.

WATERING

In summer water thoroughly only when 100% of the soil has dried out. A/W allow soil to dry 100% - water sparingly (every three months). Spring gradually increase watering - depending on temp and light exposure.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Full sun.

REPOTTING

Repot every 2-3 years using cacti & succulent compost, with added drainage such as pumice and perlite.

FEED

Use a cactus feed from March - November every other time you water.
