Finding light for Cochal in your home
Cochal love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Cochal does not tolerate low-light 🚫.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Cochal in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Cochal
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Cochal after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

When should I water this guy? I bought her almost a month ago and haven't watered her yet because the lady I bought her from said to wait a while to water, Greg recommends I water it today. Do I water or snooze? #boobiecactus #cactusclique #succulentsquad #houseplant

Does this mean it’s drying up? Not sure what to do.

How do I care for the unrooted boobie cactus I ordered? I received this about a week ago and it came unrooted and wrapped in a paper towel, I put it in this cactus/succulent soil and very lightly misted it with water because the internet told me not to water it yet. Any help with how I should proceed and how I can help remedy the yellow spots is appreciated! #HappyPlants #CactusClique #BoobieCactus
