Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a constant temperature between 20°C and 25°C, high humidity (cover the container to create a greenhouse effect) and a specific substrate for cacti, well-draining and sterile.

A neutral or slightly acidic pH is ideal. Recommended exposure: Full sun or very bright partial shade. Protect from direct, intense sunlight during the hottest hours of summer to prevent sunburn, especially during the early stages of growth.
