Ric Rac Cactus

The best place for your Ric Rac Cactus to flourish is indoors. Ric Rac Cactus does best with bright indirect to bright direct light. An Eastern exposure is ideal, a western window with a curtain works as long as the plant does not receive too much direct light. Too much direct sunlight can burn its leaves, so keep the Cactus in an appropriate area to avoid this.  Protect them from cold drafts and extreme temperatures, 65-75 degrees F is recommended.

Be sure the pot you choose for the Ric Rac Cactus has drainage holes. Place the pot with drainage holes in the sink so it will be able to drain. After watering let it sit for five minutes to drain. Depending on how hot and dry the environment is you may need to water more often. Optimum humidity is 50-60%.

Ric Rac Cactus does best in a soil that provides optimum aeration & drainage, with improved moisture retention such as Espoma Cactus Potting Mix  or Espoma Organic African Violet Soil. Any mix that contains sand is best because it is optimal for drainage. Drainage is key because it helps prevent rotting which is a common concern with cactus plants that are watered too much.
