How to Love Your Mini Spring Cactus
Keep my soil evenly moist
but never soggy, especially while
I am still growing.

If too dry, my stems will shrivel and wilt. If too wet, the stems will yellow. Try touching the soil: if the soil clings to your fingers, it's still wet. Water when the soil slips off your fingers.

If sitting near a window, East or Northeast-facing directions
are ideal.
I prefer bright indirect light, so be sure to keep me protected from direct sunlight. I will tolerate some direct early morning and late afternoon sun, particularly when in flower.

Be mindful, my care is slightly different than other cacti that originate from arid regions! I am native to the jungles of Brazil and known as “Jungle Cacti”.
Keep me around
20° C (70° F).
Cold temperature will make me vulnerable
to pathogens!

Feed me once
a month, but only during
the growing season
(spring and summer).
Use a 10-10-10
liquid fertilizer.

at night.
My flowers
last longer when
kept in a cool environment.
