Cactus (Ball) Qi Qiao Zhu Plant Introduction

Qi Qiao Zhu is a succulent plant of the Cactaceae Qi Qiao Genus, with white flowers that typically bloom at night, emitting a strong fragrance. For home care, it requires a deeper pot and well-draining soil (at least 50% should be sand or pumice, gravel). It needs ample sunlight to maintain a healthy plant structure and spine hardness. Watering should be minimal, and it should be completely dry during winter. Repotting every 2-3 years is necessary to check the health of the roots, and this also helps root growth. It can tolerate light frost (-2°C) for a short period when completely dry, and during the normal growing season, the temperature should not be below 5°C. Propagation methods include cutting, seed, and grafting.
