Care Instructions
The plant would love a space with lots of natural light but avoid very strong direct sunlight. He would much prefer neglect than overwatering, just like other succulents, so just water him when the soil is really dry.
- How often should I water the Bishop’s Hat Cactus?
- This cactus prefers to be left dry rather than overwatered. Water only when the soil has completely dried out, which may vary depending on the room conditions but typically once every 2-3 weeks.
- Can the Bishop’s Hat Cactus be placed in direct sunlight?
- While it enjoys a lot of natural light, it’s best to avoid prolonged exposure to intense direct sunlight. A spot that offers bright, indirect light or partial shade is ideal to prevent scorching its surface.
- Is this cactus suitable for beginners?
- Yes, it’s an excellent choice for beginners! Its easy-care nature and tolerance for neglect make it perfect for those just starting their plant care journey.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Astrophytum Myriostigma thrives in plenty of natural light. While it can handle some direct sunlight, it’s happier in a spot where the light is bright but indirect, such as near a south-facing window with some sheer curtains for protection.
💧 Water
💧▫️▫️ (Low)
This cactus prefers to be on the dry side. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to completely dry out between waterings. Overwatering is a sure way to harm it, so when in doubt, it’s better to wait a bit longer before watering again.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Astrophytum Myriostigma enjoys typical indoor temperatures, ideally between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid placing your cactus near drafty windows or heat sources that can cause fluctuations in temperature.
💦 Humidity
💦▫️▫️ (Low)
Low humidity conditions are perfect, mimicking its native desert habitat. No need to mist or provide extra humidity—this cactus can handle dry air just fine.
🪴 Repotting
This cactus grows slowly and doesn’t need frequent repotting. Consider repotting every 2-3 years or when you see roots coming out of the drainage holes. Use a well-draining cactus mix to ensure the health of your plant.
