Sun Requirements ▾

The Shark Tooth Cactus prefers bright, indirect light and can handle some soft morning sun. Avoid intense afternoon sun, which may scorch the stems. It does well near east-facing windows or filtered south- or west-facing spots.

Watering Instructions ▾

Unlike typical desert cacti, this plant enjoys slightly more moisture. Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, and reduce watering in the cooler months. Use a well-draining mix and avoid letting the plant sit in soggy soil. It also appreciates a bit of humidity, making it a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms.

Care Tips ▾

Plant in a cactus or epiphyte mix with good drainage and aeration. It thrives in warm, humid spaces and loves to stretch out from a hanging basket or elevated planter. It’s easy to propagate from stem cuttings and enjoys being slightly root-bound. With the right light and care, it may even surprise you with stunning, fragrant blooms that open at night.
