Cereus Jamacaru | Cuddly Cactus (S)The Cuddly Cactus (a softer spined cactus) prefers bright, direct sunlight for several hours daily. Plant it in a sandy, well draining cactus mix, and water only when the soil is completely dry. It thrives in warm, arid conditions and is highly drought tolerant. Avoid exposing it to freezing temperatures. Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a cactus specific fertilizer.
