Plant which need at least a few hours a day of solar light.We suggest growing the The Peniocereus In the house or in a warmed greenhouse; when the minimum temperatures go past 15°C it is possible to move them outside.

Fertilization Peniocereus
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.

Watering PeniocereusTenere asciutto
Let’s avoid watering the The Peniocereus 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 Peniocereus
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.
