Coral Cactus prefer bright indirect light or partial direct light. Place in a south-facing window for ideal sun exposure or place in a partial shady spot outdoors.

Coral Cactus is a low-maintenance plant that thrives on minimal watering.

Overwatering is a common mistake, as they prefer to dry out most of the way between waterings. However, they are not as drought tolerant as other succulent and cactus varieties, so be cautious not to let it dry out too much. Check the soil by sticking your finger into the top 2 inches. If it feels dry, it's time to water. Give the plant a good soaking allowing the water to drain out the bottom of the planter.

Coral Cactus is a slow grower that doesn’t need frequent fertilizing. You can feed them once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Avoid fertilizing during the winter when the plant is resting.

Use a well-draining potting mix for Coral Cactus. A cactus or succulent mix works well because it allows excess water to drain quickly, preventing the roots from sitting in moisture for too long.
