Boxer Ccatus Live Plant Bare Rooted

The Boxer Cactus (often referring to a Gymnocalycium mihanovichii, Ferocactus, or a similar small barrel-type cactus) is a low-maintenance indoor plant perfect for beginners.

🌞 Light

• Needs bright, indirect sunlight.
  Place it near a south- or west-facing window where it gets several hours of filtered sun daily.
• Avoid harsh direct midday sunlight — it can scorch the cactus.
• If your cactus starts leaning toward the light, rotate the pot every few weeks.

💧 Water

• Water sparingly — overwatering is the #1 cause of cactus death indoors.
• Spring–Summer (growing season): Water every 2–3 weeks when the soil is completely dry.
• Fall–Winter (resting season): Water once a month or less.
• Always drain excess water; never let it sit in a saucer.

🪴 Soil

• Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
• You can make your own by mixing:
  • 2 parts potting soil
  • 1 part perlite or coarse sand
  • 1 part small gravel or pumice

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Ideal indoor temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C).
• Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Prefers low humidity — keep it away from humidifiers or bathrooms.

🌸 Fertilizer

• During spring and summer, feed once a month with a diluted cactus fertilizer (half-strength).
• No need to fertilize in fall and winter.

🪴 Potting

• Choose a terracotta or clay pot with drainage holes.
• Repot every 2–3 years in spring, or when roots outgrow the pot.
