CEREUS TETRAGONUS FAIRY CASTLE 7CM

Cereus tetragonus cv. 'Fairy Castle'

Fairy castle is a small compact cultivar with a dense clustering habit around an upright stem eventually growing to 30+ cm over 2 to 3 years. Fairy Castle is one of the most popular of all cacti and is easily grown indoors in well-lit areas. If growing near windows it's best to rotate every few weeks.

Position under protected partially shaded positions outdoors. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and become more open in growth.

Watering - can be watered all year round and grow fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for very long periods and remain compact when dry.

Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in

growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape

of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce

larger plants with less colour. Repotting can be left to overgrow their pots, or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
