Barrel Cactus, 3.5" Pot
Light Requirements
Prefers bright, direct light. Place in a sunny south- or west-facing window for several hours of direct sunlight daily to maintain healthy growth and form.
Water Requirements
Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage and err on the side of underwatering.
Toxicity
Many cacti have sharp spines that can cause injury if handled carelessly. Some cactus species may be mildly irritating if ingested; keep out of reach of pets and children.
