Spiky, but not toxic to pets
Ouch! It spikes but the plant itself isn't considered toxic to pets!
Use a cactus fertilizer
Apply a fertilizer specifically for cactuses
*most of our plant arrives with slow release fertilizer (those green or purple small balls) so you should wait until the next feeding season (spring or fall) to fertilize with new fertilizer. Or you risk chemical-burning your plant.
Water thoroughly every 2 to 3 weeks
Check the first 3 inches of the soil across different spots of the soil and water when it feels DRY! In an average indoor environment, it should take 2-3 weeks for the soil to dry out, but that is dependent on your environment, so check the soil every now and then. If you're not sure if the soil feels dry, wait it out or reach out to us!
WHEN YOU WATER- water THOROUGHLY. For this size, watering thoroughly looks like running a hose across the soil for a good 5-8 minutes with occasionally stops in between to allow water to soak through.
We are here to help you care for the plants
When your plant arrives, you can schedule an initial plant care session to hop on a call session and get placement advice from our plant expert. And whenever you have a plant care question, just reach out to us at Hello@pafeplants.com or (609)-968-7063!

Details About This Plant:
Commonly known as the Peruvian Apple Cactus, or just the Apple Cactus, this slow-growing succulent is native to the Andes Mountains in South America. With its deep green, star-shaped stalk and contrasting red protective spikes, the Peruvian Cactus is sure to bring a desert vibe into your space!
Being that it's from a high mountain climate, it thrives in warm temperatures, bright indirect sunlight, low humidity, dry soil and will grow up to 6 ft tall or moreindoors. This makes them great as statement plants in a big bright room with lots of windows or a bright corner near a window!
Now that you're an expert with the Peruvian Cactus, order this plant by 7PM est to get this plant shipped out of our greenhouse in New Jersey tomorrow (if you are wondering the arrival time, check with the zipcode validator on top of the Add To Cart). Seriously, our plant shipping solution is truly protective and innovative to ensure your plants arrive safe and intact! In case you were still wondering, we WILL send out the EXACT plant that you picked out, just like that of a local nursery or garden center, except we have more and fresher plants to choose from and you can't find our PAFE fine ceramic planter options anywhere else other than our website :)
For any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at Hello@PafePlants.Com or call/text (609)-968-7063!
