Old Man of the Mountain Cactus 100mm
Cacti are cool. Spikey, sculptural, and super easy to care for. If you have no luck with plants, a cactus plant on the window sill is probably going to be the best thing for you. As they require hardly any work, you can collect a heap of these little dudes without the worry of maintenance.
Light - Cacti love sun. If you have them inside, make sure it's a sunny window sill or somewhere where they're getting plenty of light.
Water - The easiest way to kill your cactus is overwatering, so keep this in mind whenever you are thinking about water. Too much water will lead to root rot, especially in winter, so barely water during winter, and once every two or three during summer should be plenty.
Soil - Prefers a well draining soil, such as a succulent and cactus mix. Add some course sand or grit to your regular potting mix and it willalso be great.
PLEASE NOTE: While we try to show photos of an average plant for this plant and pot size, as every plant is a living thing, plants may be slightly different in some way to the image shown.
