Ferocactus Amagi

Ferocactus macrodiscus var. oaxacensis

This plant is classified as a scleractinian species of the Ferocactus genus, and is a particularly popular species. Its spines are strong and give a rough impression, but it also exudes a certain elegance. It grows into a flat shape, has gray-blue skin, and prominent yellow spines.
With sharp, powerful spines and a substantial body, this reliable variety is perfect for those who want to grow a truly cactus-like cactus.

■Location <br>Keep in a sunny place throughout the year. It is particularly tolerant of direct sunlight in midsummer and prefers full sun. However, it should be kept in a well-ventilated place and care should be taken to avoid it becoming too humid. In winter, keep in a sunny windowsill or greenhouse so that the temperature does not drop below 5°C.

■Temperature control <br>In winter, be careful not to let the temperature drop below 0°C and avoid exposing the plant to frost. If the temperature drops below 5°C, keep the plant in a sunny location, a simple greenhouse, or indoors. The greater the temperature difference between day and night, the better the thorns tend to grow.

■Watering <br>Watering should be adjusted according to the growing conditions. During the growing season from spring to autumn, water generously so that water flows out from the bottom of the pot when the soil dries, but in summer and winter, water sparingly, about once a month, and keep the plant on the dry side.

■Soil and fertilizer <br>Please use potting soil for succulents and cacti that has good breathability and drainage.
Fertilize the plant from spring to autumn during the growing season. Specifically, it is common to apply diluted liquid fertilizer once or twice a month along with watering. When repotting, it is a good idea to mix slow-release solid fertilizer into the soil as base fertilizer. Fertilizer is not necessary during the winter as the plant goes into a dormant period.
