This cactus is from dry Andean valleys and as such likes to go totally bone dry between waterings, making it a very low-maintenance plant. If you see your cactus begin to shrivel or lose firmness, your cactus is likely totally dry and should be watered. To get good healthy growth your plant doesn't want to sit around totally dried out during it's growing season. Once it is dry, water it. This cactus comes from an area with summer rainfall and is actively growing during that time, when it is forgiving of overwatering errors. During winter dormancy it should be kept extra dry and won't tolerate overwatering. Protecting from winter rains is beneficial with this species. Remember that if kept in a small pot your plant will want more frequent watering. | |

Notas de cultivo
If exposed to inland heat this cactus appreciates some afternoon shade.
This cactus is typically grown in pots, as it is susceptible to root rot during winter rains, especially when grown in the ground. Given enough drainage addition to the soil, it could potentially be grown in a rockery.
