Care Tips

The Opuntia Albispina thrives with minimal care. Place it in a sunny spot and make sure it gets plenty of direct sunlight to maintain its vibrant pads. Water only when the soil is completely dry, as cacti are drought-tolerant plants. Ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid water retention, which can cause root rot. During the winter months, reduce watering to allow the cactus to rest.
