Care Guide
Light Requirements
Bright, Indirect Sunlight: Provide several hours of filtered or partial sun daily. A few hours of gentle morning or late-afternoon direct light can help maintain vibrant coloring and encourage healthy growth.
Watering
Infrequent & Thorough: Water your Myrtillocactus only after the top inch or two of soil has dried. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so let excess water drain away. In cooler months, reduce watering to once a month or less, as growth slows.
Soil & Potting
Well-Draining Mix: Use a quality cactus/succulent soil blend enriched with perlite or coarse sand for optimal drainage. If transferring from the 5-inch pot, choose a container with drainage holes just slightly larger than the existing root mass.
Temperature & Humidity
Warm & Dry: Ideal temperatures range between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Protect it from frost and freezing conditions—if you live in a colder climate, consider bringing the plant indoors during winter.
Fertilizing
Light Feeding: During spring and summer, apply a diluted, balanced cactus fertilizer once a month. Withhold fertilization in fall and winter, allowing the plant to rest.
Shipping & Setup
Ships Bare Root: Your cactus will be carefully removed from its 5-inch pot and securely packaged for safe transit.
Potting Recommendation: Upon arrival, simply place your grafted cactus in a well-draining pot with suitable cactus soil. Wait about a week before watering to let any minor root damage heal.

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. If your temperatures will be below 40 degrees, please consider adding on one of our $5 72 hour heat packs, available in our store.
