STENOCACTUS - CACTUS PLANT CARE GUIDE:
 
Upon arrival of your new addition, we recommend that your promptly remove it from the box and unwrap carefully.
 
Place into a pot that is not much wider than the plant itself. Try to keep the level of the plant the same, usually you can see a colour variation that shows the previous soil level. 
 
Once potted up, keep in a protected position to reduce shock, then gradually make the transition to a sunnier spot.
 
Withhold watering for at least a week to get them settled into their new home, then follow the guidelines below:
 
 
Water Summer: During the warmer months, pots will dry out quickly, frequent watering is required. Water thoroughly, then allow soil to dry completely before watering again.
 
Water Winter: During the colder months, pots take longer to dry out. Water lightly, then allow soil to dry completely before watering again. A cool, dry winter will encourage flowering.
 
Soil: Free draining cactus or succulent mix is recommended.
 
Position: Part shade to Full sun. Try to avoid hot afternoon sun in the warmer months as it may burn plants. 
 
Pots: Squat pots are recommended. Use containers with drainage holes, to prevent root rot.
