Commonly known as the Peruvian Apple Cactus. or just the Apple Cactus. this slow-growing succulent is native to the Andes Mountains in South America. With its deep green. star-shaped stalk and contrasting red protective spikes. the Peruvian Cactus is sure to bring a desert vibe into your space!

Being that it's from a high mountain climate. it thrives in warm temperatures. bright indirect sunlight. low humidity. dry soil and will grow up to 8 ft tall or more indoors. This makes them great as statement plants in a big bright room with lots of windows or a bright corner near a window!

Lighting

This plant originates from the desert. so naturally they would need some sort of sunlight. Keep it - minimum- indirect bright light.

Watering

Think of a desert. you probably imagine cracking soils right? Mimic that with this plant. it tolerates a lot of drought but at the same time cannot stand too much water (wet feet is a bad feeling) 

Water once every month or so for a peruvian cactus this size. Water only when half of the soil is very very dry.
