Pereskiopsis is a genus of cacti native to Mexico and some parts of Central and South Americas. This genus stands out from other cacti due to it’s versatility in the cacti horticultural space. Pereskiopsis spathulata is the most common species that is distributed.
Lighting Requirements
Pereskiopsis spathulata can handle direct light, especially in the UK. They generally require 10 to 14 hours of light a day.
Watering Requirements
As previously stated, this genus can handle a lot of water as they are tropical cacti. During the active growing months, you can water as and when the substrate looks remotely dry.
Substrate
The substrate should be more organic than most other cacti, this is due to their tropical nature. I would recommend a 60% to 70% organic substrate mix.
Temperature Requirements
Pereskiopsis spathulata are happier in high humidity environments. You can use a humidity tray to keep the humidity levels up, but, this is not strictly required as they will grow fine in open air.
