It was my first set of plants that I had ever purchased. Good for the Texas Heat! They are low maintenance in my opinion and it’s just a matter of watering them every other week or so depending on the amount of soil you have in there. Occasional rain has kept me from having to water them all together so they work well as just something to look at. Definitely one of my favorites in my garden.

you can just leave it and it will grow quite slowly, water it irregularly and it will just do its own thing and you dont have to worry about it

very easy to care for;; i’ve had this cactus for over 2 years and i’ve never had any trouble with it. do not over water;; leaving it alone for a long time does the trick. needs a LOT of sunlight.

I love this plant so much cause you can forget to water it for literally a year and it will still power on through.

I did give it only 4 stars though because I do prick myself on a daily basis.

Difficult to switch pots because of the spines (obviously) but easy to look after - especially for serial plant killers like me!
