Care
Water the cactus lightly every 3-4 weeks and make sure the excess water drains. Our top tip; once itβs watered, tip the pot upside down in the sink to let the water drain off. Likes a dry sunny spot in your home or office.
Yes, they are spikey, be careful not to get pricked! Small Cactus burrs can become loose in transit, so take extra care when unpacking this plant. We recommend using thick gloves or folded up paper if you need to handle the plants. If your skin does come in to contact with the burrs, wash with mild soap and water immediately. Any visible spines can be removed with tweezers and sellotape.
Please note; the shape and size of the Cactus may vary.
