To ensure the columns maintain their tight, robust growth form and to fuel the intense energy required to produce its legendary giant flowers, this desert native demands an abundance of bright, direct sunlight. Potted in our premium, fast-draining mineral soil mix, it is expertly adapted to porous environments and cannot tolerate sitting in stagnant moisture. Follow a strict soak and dry watering routine, saturating the medium completely only when the mix has dried out 100% from top to bottom, keeping the root system completely dry between cycles.
