To ensure your Easter Lily Cactus thrives, provide it with bright, indirect sunlight. Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, and avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. A well-draining soil mix is crucial. During the growing season (spring and summer), you can fertilize it with a diluted cactus fertilizer. With proper care, your Easter Lily Cactus will reward you with its spectacular blooms year after year. The cactus prefers temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C).

This cactus is a relatively slow grower, so don’t expect it to outgrow its 6″ pot anytime soon. Repotting is only necessary every few years when the plant becomes root-bound. When repotting, choose a slightly larger pot and use a well-draining cactus mix.
