Where should I put this plant?
Blue Cactus like bright light but not direct sun.
How much water should I give it?
Like most cacti, Cereus likes to be watered only when the top 2 inches of soil are dry, and it dislikes being overwatered - think desert plant!
Should I feed this cactus?
When developing our original Happy Houseplants’ Vegan Cactus & Succulent Food, we decided not to tinker with it too much, so you'll find no chemical supplements in this 100% cruelty-free vegan product. Our organic original Vegan Cactus & Succulent food is made from Seaweed harvested sustainably.
Seaweed provides a delicate blend of growth hormones and micronutrients that is perfect for all indoor plants. Houseplants grow throughout spring, summer and autumn, so they will benefit from organic fertiliser during this time to encourage flowering and keep them healthy and well.
