Why You’ll Love This Cactus
Unique Crested Growth: Rather than a typical round shape, the ribbed body fuses into fascinating crest formations, creating curving ridges and waves.
Brilliant Purple & Green Color: Each crest segment showcases a delightful interplay of purple hues and lush greens, intensifying under adequate light.
Low-Maintenance: Like most cacti, this species thrives with minimal watering and bright, indirect light—perfect for beginners or experienced collectors seeking something special.
Basic Care Instructions
Light:
Provide bright, filtered sunlight. A few hours of direct morning or late-afternoon sun is beneficial, but shield it from harsh midday rays.
Watering:
Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry fully between waterings. During spring and summer (active growth), water about every 2–3 weeks. In fall and winter, reduce watering to once a month or less.
Soil & Potting:
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. If desired, gently transfer it to a container with drainage holes upon receipt.
Temperature & Environment:
Ideal temperatures range between 65°F and 85°F (18°C and 29°C). Protect it from frost and keep humidity moderate to low.
Shipping & Setup:
Ships bare root from its 4.5" pot (no soil) to ensure a safe journey. Upon arrival, pot it in a dry cactus mix and wait about a week before the first watering to reduce risk of root rot.

Upon receipt of plant – carefully open and remove plant from package. Cacti should be then placed on moist soil (it helps to create an indentation for the roots). Soil mix should be chunky, such as with the use of cactus soil that includes rocks, lyca balls, perlite, sand, and soil. Soil must be well draining. All containers for plants must have drainage holes. Cacti are best watered from the bottom when the top soil has dried out. Keep the soil moist, but not soaking, and never let them sit in standing water.
