Echinocactus grusonii Care Guide

    Place in full sun

    Allow soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings. If in doubt, wait longer before watering. 

    Avoid humid environments such as bathrooms and laundry rooms 

    Ideal temperature is between 70 - 100 degrees Fahrenheit

    Keep away from low temperatures 

    Does not require regular feeding, however, you can fertilizer with a cactus fertilizer once a year to keep it looking it's best. 

    Repot your cactus during the warm season. Take out the plant when the soil is completely dried out. Place the cactus in a new planter and fill it up with a succulent soil mix, spreading the roots out. Let your plant dry out and recover for a couple of days. After some time, you can begin with watering gradually and placing it in a sunny spot.

    Cleaning should be minimal, remove any decaying parts as needed. 

    To propagate, remove one of the stems from the cactus and set it aside for 24 - 48 hours allowing the base to callous. Pot the pad in a container filled with a well-draining potting mix and place it in a location that receives a few hours of direct sunlight each day. Wait to water the new plant until a few weeks have passed to ensure that roots have begun to sprout.
