The Dirt
Native to Saudi Arabia and North Africa. This cactus likes full sun to part sun. This can grow rather fast. The ribs are thick, wavy, and four winged, with dark brown spikes. Well draining soil and pots are great for it to thrive and be low maintenance. Resilient to pests and diseases.
Part Sun
This plant likes most rooms with windows facing west or east. You could place it in a spot away from a very sunny window – as light intensity goes down quick as you move away from the light source.
