Care Guide
Fairy Castle CactusTemperate Regions of the America
Plant Care
Thrives in bright direct light, but can tolerate bright indirect light.
Water every 2-3 weeks in direct light, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.
This is a pet friendly plant.
The fairy castle cactus gets its name from its unique growth pattern, which resembles the turrets and towers of a fairytale castle!
