Description

Spirally, spiky, and full of charm—this cactus is a sculptural little friend that thrives on neglect and sunshine. Cute now, but just wait ‘til it blooms!

Plant Care
Light: Bright direct light is best—this one lives for full sun. A south-facing windowsill or sunny garden spot will keep it happy.

Watering: Let the soil go bone dry between waterings. Then give it a thorough soak and let it drain fully. In winter? Water even less—just enough to stop it from shriveling.

Temperature: Loves it warm but can handle temps down to around 5°C if kept dry. Keep away from frost and damp, drafty spots.

Potting: Needs super sharp drainage. Our Savvy Succa mix is perfect—it mimics its natural desert habitat. Terracotta pots are a big bonus too.

Hot tips: This one can produce teeny pink or magenta flowers in a little ring around the top—adorable! It's also a slow grower, so it stays compact for years.

Pet Friendly: NO (those spines are a no-go for curious paws)
