Watering Frequency: Every 3 weeks
Originating from arid environments, ferocactus has evolved to store water efficiently, showcasing a high drought tolerance. In its native habitat, it thrives with minimal rainfall, relying on its capacity to retain moisture within its robust structure. Watering should be sparse for this species, aligning with its desert lineage; hence, a schedule of once every three weeks is appropriate. As an outdoor plant often found in dry climates, ferocactus benefits significantly from well-draining soil that mimics its natural sandy terrain.
