Light Opuntia mycrodasysSole pieno
We advise cultivating the the Opuntia mycrodasys in a covered place, in an apartment or green house, as they don't like temperatures below 15°C: during late Spring they can be moved outdoors. We can grow a large part of the succulent plants in a cold climate; some species can endure temperatures below 5°C, but only if the soil stays completely dry.We suggest to position the the Opuntia mycrodasys in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.

Cultivation Opuntia mycrodasys
The Opuntia mycrodasys is developed like a succulent plant. The Opuntia mycrodasys Is medium in size; in winter it assumes a yellowgreen colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form.

Fertilize Opuntia mycrodasys
In the spring let’s fertilize our succulent plants periodically, adding, every 15-20 days, a specific fertilizer. Fertilizers fur succulent plants must be rich in potassium, but poor in nitrogen, to avoid the plants from developing excess vegetation, which is easily attacked by fungal diseases.

Water Opuntia mycrodasysTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 1-2 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 4-5 weeks . These plants are very resistant to droughts; let’s avoid watering excessively; during the winter months we can avoid watering the plants located where there’s a cold climate.

Pests Opuntia mycrodasys
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Mold Opuntia mycrodasys
Let’s prefer soft and incoherent, with elevated drainage soils.
