FERTILIZER: Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a cactus-specific fertilizer. PESTS: Check the plant regularly for signs of pests such as mealybugs or scale insects. Treat any infestations promptly with an insecticidal soap or other organic pest control methods. By following these simple care guidelines, you can enjoy the beauty of your spiral cactus for many years to come.
