How often should I water my Cereus Forbesii Spiral Cactus?: This cactus thrives with minimal watering. Water it thoroughly once the soil has completely dried out, typically every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the humidity and temperature of your home. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s better to err on the side of dryness.
Can the Cereus Forbesii Spiral be placed in direct sunlight?: Yes, the Cereus Forbesii Spiral prefers bright light conditions and can handle direct sunlight. However, if you’re placing it in a window that receives intense sun exposure, gradually acclimate the plant to prevent sunburn.
Is the Cereus Forbesii Spiral suitable for offices or low light environments?: While it prefers bright light, this cactus can tolerate medium light settings, making it suitable for office environments. However, growth may be slower and the spiral form less pronounced in lower light conditions.

☀️ Light

I did not expect the items in my order to be so stunning and utterly joyous! The moss just sprang into verdant glory as soon as I unshackled it from its wax paper and unleashed it in its prepared spot in the miniature Lord of the Rings mood garden 🤪 As I said to the postie, forget snow to eskimos, we are shipping moss to Argyll! Lovely wee selection. The moss pole with cup is brilliantly designed and will make my monstera much happier in a room heated with a log burner and near a radiator. She is already very tolerant and happy but this will hopefully set her up for winter. A daily drench of warmed rainwater on that pole will recreate Amazonia for a plant that in my experience loves heat as long as humidity is good and I’m confident she will take over the world. Please never stop doing extensions!
