Thelocactus conothelos
Introducing the stunning thelocactus conothelos, described as a solitary cylindrical cactus that is loved by collectors for its vibrant pink flowers! This plant is easily recognised for its longer, glassy central spines and unique burgundy to purple colouring on the tips of each ridge.
☀️This plant requires bright, indirect light but harsh direct sunlight needs to be avoided as this can scorch the leaves.
💧Overwatering can lead to rot, so it's best to allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
〰️These plants don’t have any special requirements when it comes to humidity. Ambient is perfectly fine for these guys.
🌡️Standard room temperatures between 18-24°C are perfect
🍴Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
✂️Most propagation for this species is done by seed.
🪴Repot every 2-3 years as needed, using a well-draining potting mix formulated for cacti and succulents.
