Exposure BrachycereusSole pieno
Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light. We suggest growing the The Brachycereus In the house or in a warmed greenhouse; when the minimum temperatures go past 15°C it is possible to move them outside.Succulent plants can also be cultivated in a cold green house, with temperatures which must be below 5°C for many species, but in this case it’s necessary to keep them totally dry.

Watering BrachycereusTenere asciutto
Let’s avoid watering the The Brachycereus excessively, always leaving the soil dry for a few days between one watering and the other, therefore let’s irrigate the substratum deeply every 4-5 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water . Let’s remember that the succulent plants can withhold water inside their materials, therefore they need to be watered only when the weather is hot.

Treatments Brachycereus
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Soil Brachycereus
Grow in a soft and sandy, very well drained soil.
