Pachycereus (Lophocereus) schottii f. minor

Description

This slow growing, undemanding cactus is also known as the totem-pole cactus. It is much sought after by collectors for its irregular shaped green stems and spineless areoles.

WATERING

In summer water thoroughly only when 100% of the soil has dried out. A/W allow soil to dry 100% – water sparingly (every two months). In spring gradually increase watering – depending on temperature and light exposure.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS

Full sun.

FEED

Use a cactus and succulent fertiliser every other month during the growing season.

REPOTTING

This species can live in the same pot for many years; when the roots fill the container, repot using a free-draining potting mix that includes a high ratio of pumice, perlite or gravel.

POT SIZE / HEIGHT
