Maintenance
Caring for your Peanut Cactus is straightforward. A care guide highlights its preference for bright, indirect sunlight. While it can tolerate some direct sun, too much can scorch its stems. A well-lit windowsill or a spot that gets morning sun works best. In terms of watering, this plant is drought-tolerant. Use the "soak and dry" method: water thoroughly and then let the soil dry completely before watering again. A well-draining cactus and succulent mix is essential to prevent root rot.
