It will then be carefully packaged and sent to you with first class shipping. Once received, please remove it from the package and prepare your soil. It should be moist and well draining. It can help to make an indent in the soil to carefully place the roots inside of, and gently cover any exposed root. Do not disturb as it settles it's roots into the soil. When the soil surface is dry, gently water the plant by placing it's pot or container in a bowl of water so it can suck up the water from below. Lighting: Provide your cactus with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. A sunny windowsill or a well-lit spot in your garden is ideal. Avoid exposing it to intense, direct sunlight, which can lead to sunburn. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. The Star Cactus prefers to be kept on the drier side. Water sparingly, typically once every 2-4 weeks, depending on environmental conditions. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent overwatering. Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix to ensure good aeration and drainage for the roots. Container: If repotting becomes necessary, choose a container with drainage holes slightly larger than the current one. Repot during the growing season, typically in spring or early summer.
