Brain cactus, also known as Brain plant, Barrel cactus, Wave cactus
Brain cactus is a low-maintenance cactus known for its distinct ribbed appearance resembling a human brain. Key care points involve well-draining soil preparation and a controlled watering regimen, where overwatering must be avoided, especially during the dormant winter period. Brain cactus thrives in full sunlight and can tolerate dry, arid conditions, which makes it fairly easy to care for. Regular fertilization is not crucial but can promote healthier growth during the active growing season.
