Watering Instructions:

Opuntia Cylindrical Cristata needs very little water. We recommend a splash of water once every month. Be careful not to get water directly on the plant as the folds in the Opuntia Cylindrical Cristata can retain water and moisture leading to black fungus spots if not allowed to dry throughly.
