Plant Care Notes

Myrtillocactus loves bright, direct sunlight, so give it a sunny spot to soak up the rays. If growing indoors, place it near a south-facing window to keep it happy. It thrives in warmer temperatures, and it’s best to keep it away from frost and temps below 40°F (4°C).

Be sure to water infrequently. Like most cacti, the Boobie Cactus prefers the soak-and-dry method. Water deeply, then let the soil dry out completely before watering again. During the winter, when it’s dormant, reduce watering significantly. For soil, stick with a well-draining cactus mix and add extra perlite, pumice, or coarse sand to ensure proper drainage. The Boobie Cactus doesn't like wet feet, so make sure to use pots with drainage holes.
