Pachycereus Pringlei

Requires full sun for optimal growth.

Place outdoors in a sunny spot or indoors near a south-facing window with plenty of direct light.

Gradually introduce to full sun to prevent sunburn if recently relocated.

Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

During the growing season (spring and summer), water every 2-4 weeks.

In fall and winter, reduce watering significantly, as the cactus is dormant.

Thrives in dry, low-humidity environments.

Avoid high humidity, as it can increase the risk of rot and fungal issues.

Prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 21-38°C.

Can tolerate brief exposure to temperatures as low as -4°C but should be protected from prolonged frost.

Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix.

Enhance drainage by adding sand, pumice, or perlite.

Avoid heavy, water-retentive soils.

Feed with a diluted cactus fertiliser once a month during the growing season.

Do not fertilise during the dormant period in fall and winter.

Repot every 3-5 years or when the cactus outgrows its container.

Use a pot with excellent drainage, slightly larger than the root ball.

Handle with care, as the spines are sharp and sturdy.

Requires minimal pruning.

Remove dead or damaged stems using sterilized tools. Allow cuts to callus over before watering.

Propagate via seeds or cuttings.

For cuttings, allow the cut end to callus for several days before planting in dry soil.

Seeds should be sown in a sandy, well-draining mix and kept warm and lightly moist until germination.
