Zygo Cactus

| I have rescued from work a very sick looking zygo in a small pot which has been kept as an indoor plant for some months. I have brought it home in the hope that I may be able to liven it up a bit. It certainly isn't dead (yet!), but the leaves (if that's what you call them) are looking rather shrivelled and it hasn't flowered in ages. Should I keep it outside under the verandah or really outside in the sun and should I give it some Seasol maybe? Any help is appreciated. TIA Sarah |

| I keep mine under cover but they get some morning sun for a few hours. I found that they dont like conditions to be too harsh. If there's any good bits , it might be worth taking a cutting. It can't hurt. |

Hi Sarah
I find that they need shade. i have them in a pergola where they get quite a bit of shade. the ones in full sun seem to fade. they certainly don't like the sun in WA. if you keep it in a bowl with water in it it may soak up the moisture. i've had them before where they seem to dry up but have revived, if it's not too late.
best of luck Jan |
