Fairy Castle Cactus
Light
The Fairy Castle Cactus loves bright, direct sunlight. Place it in a sunny window where it can receive at least six hours of light per day. If grown indoors, a south- or west-facing window is ideal. Insufficient light can cause slow growth and a pale or stretched appearance.Water
Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the spring and summer, water every two to four weeks depending on your environment. Reduce watering in the fall and winter when the cactus is dormant. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it’s always better to err on the dry side.Soil
Use a cactus or succulent soil mix that drains quickly. You can add perlite, coarse sand, or small gravel to improve aeration and prevent the roots from sitting in moisture.Temperature and Humidity
This cactus prefers warm, dry conditions. Ideal temperatures range between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and no lower than 50 degrees at night. It does well in average household humidity and does not require misting.Fertilizer
Feed lightly with a cactus fertilizer or a diluted balanced plant food once a month during the growing season (spring through early fall). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months.
