A sunny windowsill, greenhouse, or conservatory is ideal. Plenty of light encourages strong, upright growth, maintains the dense silvery spination, and promotes flowering on mature specimens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWater:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. As a drought-tolerant cactus, it stores water within its stems and requires only infrequent watering. Water sparingly during the growing season and reduce watering significantly throughout winter when the plant is dormant. Always ensure excess water drains away freely to prevent root rot.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToxic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePot size: 17cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Urban Tropicana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56364144066939,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/6956\/6877\/files\/Cleistocactus_Straussi_17cm_Pot1.jpg?v=1788011113","url":"https:\/\/urbantropicana.co.uk\/products\/cleistocactus-straussi-17m-pot","provider":"Urban Tropicana","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
