HEALTH BENEFITS

Cacti take in carbon dioxide in the air of your home and release clean oxygen while reducing levels of air pollutants like nitrogen dioxide and benzene.

LOOKING AFTER THE PLANT

Place your cactus in a sunny location while avoiding areas that are drafty. When watering, avoid watering the plant directly and allow the soil to dry out completely between each session. Plant in cactus potting soil as well as a well-draining pot. During the winter you can use half the amount of water for your fairy cacti.

PLANT CARE WITH PETS AND CHILDREN

Cacti should not be kept in areas where they can be handled by pets or children.
