Important Note

📌 Pot is not included with this product.
📌 Unlike desert cacti, Fishbone Cactus prefers bright filtered light and slightly more consistent moisture, but the growing medium should always drain freely.
📌 Avoid intense direct afternoon sunlight, which may scorch the stems.
📌 Flowering depends on plant maturity, season, light levels, and growing conditions.
📌 As a living plant, stem length, shape, foliage density, and overall appearance may vary between individual specimens.
