Let's avoid exposing the The Ferocactus acanthoides to temperatures below 15°C. During late Spring we can place them outdoors, possibly sheltered by the wind. 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.Let's grow the The Ferocactus acanthoides in a luminous place, with direct sunlight.

Care Ferocactus acanthoides
These plants are succulent . Ferocactus acanthoides Is an evergreen; during spring, summer, autumn, winter iIt assumes a yellowgreen colouring; the adult specimens are large in size and reach 3 m high. The development is erect, they tend to grow both in height and in width, giving origin to a rounded shrub.

Feed Ferocactus acanthoides
In this period of the year, let’s remember to enrich the soil of our succulent plants, using, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer; fertilizers for succulent plants must be poor in nitrogen to avoid them from producing too much vegetation which would be easily attacked by fungal diseases.

Irrigation Ferocactus acanthoidesTenere asciutto
We suggest watering the The Ferocactus acanthoides every 4-5 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with 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.

Adversity Ferocactus acanthoides
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.
