Light:
This cactus likes a nice sunny spot, however when these plants are still young ( less than 3 inches in height ) or if taken as cuttings they are best placed in a less sunnier position. Once the plant has fully rooted and/or is taller than 3 inches in height they love to be placed in a sunny position, as long as ventilation can be provided. If grown on a very sunny south facing window in the middle of summer then a shade cloth may be placed over the window to allow indirect sunshine onto the plant this will prevent scorch or yellowing of the stem.
NOTE: these plants shipped to SF bare-root and have been transplanted into dry soil. They have roots but they will need time to develop thoroughly in their new media. Water once a month and allow the roots to grow on their own - try not to mess with the cactus too much for the first six months, especially during winter.
