Elephant's tooth, also known as Dense Cactus, Pincushion Cactus, Cory Cactus
Elephant's tooth is a cactus with relatively straightforward care needs, ideal for beginners. It requires bright, indirect light and can tolerate direct sunlight, but it should be acclimated slowly to prevent sunburn. Watering should be infrequent, with a thorough soak only when the soil is completely dry to avoid root rot. In winter, watering should be minimal as elephant's tooth enters dormancy. Overwatering is the primary concern; therefore, ensuring proper soil drainage and aeration is critical.
