Watering: Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering, and then water thoroughly. Do not water too often and water even less in the winter.

Fertilizer: Fertilize sparingly. No more than once a month and only during the growing season (May – Aug). Use a diluted balanced fertilizer.

Soil: Use a cactus soil mix or a regular potting soil with added perlite or sand to improve drainage.
