Care Instructions:
Lighting Needs:

Provide your Discocactus Horstii Hybrid with bright, indirect sunlight. A spot near an east or west-facing window is ideal, where it can enjoy the morning or late afternoon sun without the harsh midday rays.
Watering Schedule:

Water your Discocactus sparingly and only when the soil is completely dry. Typically, watering once every 2-3 weeks in the growing season (spring to summer) is adequate. Reduce watering in the winter to once a month or less, depending on the humidity and temperature of your environment.
Feeding Requirements:

Fertilize with a cactus-specific, diluted low-nitrogen fertilizer once during the spring and once in mid-summer. Avoid fertilizing in fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.
Unboxing and Planting Instructions:
Upon receiving your Discocactus Horstii Hybrid:

Unboxing: Carefully remove the cactus from its packaging. Avoid handling the cactus directly—use gloves or wrap it in a thick layer of newspaper to protect your hands and the plant.
Choose the Right Pot: Select a pot with drainage holes that is slightly larger than the root ball of the cactus.
Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining cactus mix, ideally composed of perlite, sand, and compost. This ensures excellent drainage and mimics the natural growing conditions of the cactus.
Planting: Place the cactus in the pot and gently fill around it with your soil mix, ensuring that the base of the cactus sits just above the soil surface. Tap the pot gently to settle the soil.
Initial Watering: Water lightly to moisten the soil, then allow it to dry out fully before the next watering. This helps to prevent root rot and establishes the cactus in its new environment.

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.
