Bolivian Jungle Cactus Care Guide

Light Requirements

Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the stems, while too little light may stunt growth. Ideal for hanging near filtered windows. Learn more about light requirements.

Watering Needs

Water moderately during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry between waterings. Reduce watering in fall and winter.

Soil Preferences

Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Adding perlite or sand improves drainage. Shop Indoor Potting Mix

Temperature & Humidity

Thrives in temperatures between 60–85°F (15–29°C). Prefers moderate humidity but tolerates drier conditions better than most jungle cacti.

Fertilization

Feed monthly with a diluted cactus fertilizer during spring and summer. Do not fertilize in fall and winter. Explore Natural Fertilizers

Pruning & Maintenance

Prune leggy stems to encourage fuller growth. Remove any damaged or shriveled segments. Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container.

Propagation Tips

Stem Cuttings

Propagate easily by cutting healthy segments and letting them callous for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

FAQs

How often should I water my Bolivian Jungle Cactus?

Water when the soil is dry to the touch, usually every 1-2 weeks during the growing season and less in winter.

Why are the stems of my cactus shriveling?

Shriveled stems can be a sign of underwatering or exposure to intense sunlight. Adjust watering and move to indirect light.

Is the Bolivian Jungle Cactus pet-friendly?

Yes, it is non-toxic to pets. However, the delicate stems can break easily, so place it out of reach of curious pets.
