☀️ Light
☀️☀️☀️ (High) – The Fox Tail Cactus thrives in direct sunlight. A spot where it can bask in the sun’s rays for most of the day is ideal. This will also encourage the plant to develop its characteristic red stress colouration during the brighter months.
? Water
?▫️▫️ (Low) – Watering should be sparse. Ensure the soil is completely dry before watering again. Being a cactus, overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s better to err on the side of too dry rather than too wet.
?️ Temperature
?️?️▫️ (Average) – The Fox Tail Cactus enjoys a typical indoor temperature range, but it can also grow outside during a UK summer. Just make sure to bring it inside before the weather turns chilly!
? Humidity
?▫️▫️ (Low) – This cactus prefers lower humidity levels. Typical home environments usually suit it just fine, without the need for any extra humidity adjustments.
? Repotting
Consider repotting every 2-3 years or if you notice that the cactus has outgrown its current pot. Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to ensure the best growth conditions.
? Pet Friendliness
This plant is not pet-friendly due to its spines. It’s best to keep it out of reach of curious pets to avoid any unwelcome pokes or scratches.
? Recommended Locations at Home
Perfect for sunny windowsills, conservatories, or any south-facing room. Its trailing nature also makes it a stunning addition to high shelves or in hanging baskets where its branches can drape gracefully.
? Air Purifying
While not known for its air purifying abilities, its easy care and beautiful appearance make it a wonderful addition to any plant collection.
