Keep the soil lightly moist at all times, but do not overwater as this will cause brown spots and leaf drop. Curly or dry leaves suggest, the plant is dry and needs watering.

The Peruvian Apple Cactus is a Columnar variety of cactus with color variations ranging from yellow / green, green, blue / green, and gray. During the growing season, Apr - Oct, the cactus will produce 6-8” diameter white colored flowers that only bloom for one night. They also produce an edible fruit the size of a lemon, similar to a dragon fruit.
** All cuttings can't be perfect, we always aim to give more, but cutting size may vary +/- 2in from selected size **
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Sunlight: Full sun. When indoors, placing the cactus near an east or west facing window is best for optimal light. If placed outside during the warm months (50+ degrees), we recommend a covered patio that gets really good light
Watering – drought tolerant species. Water once a month. Make sure the soil dries completely 3 days after watering.
Soil – premixed bags of cactus soil. You can make your own with sand, organic soil, perlite, and small lava rock. DO NOT use regular potting soil.
Issues – Root rot is caused when the soil does not have proper drainage and stays moist for too long. We recommend planting your cutting in a clay or terracotta pot with a drainage hole to achieve the highest soil breathability. Scale and Mealybugs can be treated with insecticidal soaps.
