How to Grow and Care for Eulychnia

Eulychnia thrives in bright, indirect light and requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as eulychnia is drought-tolerant. A special care point is to maintain consistent temperatures and avoid drafts, as eulychnia does not fare well with sudden temperature changes.
