How to Water Triangle cactus?
Watering Frequency: Every 3 weeks
Triangle cactus thrives in arid environments, mirroring its native desert conditions where water is scarce. This cactus has adapted to store water efficiently, making it highly drought-tolerant. Regular watering should be sparse, aligning with a schedule of once every three weeks to maintain the right moisture balance without over-saturating the soil. As an outdoor plant often found in hot climates, triangle cactus benefits from well-draining soil that mimics its natural sandy habitat, reducing the risk of root rot from excess water.

How to Propagate Triangle cactus?
Primary propagation for triangle cactus includes seeds and stem cuttings. Key factors are warm temperatures, well-draining soil, and bright, indirect light. It's crucial to allow cuttings to callus before planting to prevent rot. Propagation can be moderately difficult due to the need for balanced moisture management. For propagation via cuttings: (1) Cut healthy stems at a 45-degree angle, (2) Let the cuttings dry and callus for a week, (3) Plant in suitable cactus mix, (4) Water sparingly until roots develop, ensuring good drainage.
How to Plant Triangle cactus?
The triangle cactus cacti thrive in well-draining, sandy or gritty soil and receive strong sunlight. Overwatering can lead to root rot, thus occasional watering is recommended. To plant, prepare a hole which is double the size of the root ball, situate the triangle cactus into it, ensuring the plant is level with the surrounding soil. Initially, keep it in part shade to let it acclimatise. Remember that specific species may have unique requirements and always research prior to planting. Extend care by protecting your triangle cactus from extreme temperatures and heavy rainfall.
