@SorGreenhouse Welcome to the Greg community! This cactus is easy to care for. It needs full sun in the summer months and should be grown in a pot with cactus potting soil to prevent root rot. In the winter months, it requires cooler temperatures of 50-65 degrees F, very little water and partial sun conditions. It may bloom if these conditions are met or it may die if they are not. And they generally do better in porous pots such as terracotta.

Hi I have one of these bad boys myself 🤣 I keep getting those prickly bits in my fingers I'd say a terracotta pot not much bigger than the one he's in now
And use cactus succulent mix that's what I use mine sits on a shelf with a grow light but they like a lot of sun don't give too much water and I bottom water mine
