Plant Care Guide
Light
Provide your Cuddle Cactus with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. While these cacti can tolerate full sun, it's important to acclimate them gradually to prevent sunburn.
Water
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially during the winter when the plant is in dormancy. Overwatering can lead to root rot, which should be avoided.
Level of Care
Easy! Just place in bright sunlight and don't overwater.
Air Purifying
The Cuddly Cactus removes toxins that can build up in indoor spaces and help filter your air.
Fertilizer
During the growing season (spring through early autumn), feed your cactus with a diluted, balanced cactus or succulent fertilizer. Reduce or stop fertilization during the winter months.
Temperature
Protect your cactus from frost, as it is sensitive to cold temperatures. This cactus thrives in warm to hot climates and can withstand high temperatures during the summer months.
Soil
Plant your Cuddly Cactus in well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Adding sand or perlite to the soil mixture can enhance drainage.
Pruning & Propagation
Prune any dead or damaged growth as needed to maintain the plant's shape and overall health.
Pet Friendly
Yes! The Cuddly Cactus is non-toxic and doesn't have any spines or needles to cause harm.
