Plants vary in size and colour. Every plant is unique and therefore may not be exactly as shown. Plants may or may not be in stages of flowering upon arrival.

Plant care

Care Tips:

- Plant in well-draining, porous succulent soil.

- Will do best if planted in a pot with a drainage hole.

- Provide plenty of bright to direct sunlight to help this plant stay colourful and compact.

- Water infrequently. This plant likes to dry out completely in between waterings so only water when the soil is bone-dry. Cacti are very drought tolerant. It is safer to under water than over water.
