Tephrocactus geometricus

Growing in small clumps in the deserts of Argentina and Bolivia, Tephrocactus geometricus is adapted to extreme heat and drought. The almost spine-free, spherical segments of this rare cactus take on a deep purple under intense sun, and produce fabulous white-pink flowers in summer which last for just a single day.

Watering

In summer water thoroughly only when 100% of the soil has dried out. A/W allow soil to dry 100% - water sparingly (every three months). Spring gradually increase watering - depending on temp and light exposure.  

Light requirements

Full sun. 

Repotting

Repot every 2-3 years using cacti & succulent compost, with added drainage such as pumice and perlite.

Feed

Use a cactus feed from March - November every other time you water.
