This succulent shrub has a woody trunk covered in thorns and bright green foliage that grows on new stems and falls away as it matures. Clusters of bubblegum pink bell-shaped flowers appear spring through late summer. This shrub can grow up to three feet high. Use a well draining potting mix, place near a window that receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day, and water when the soil is completely dry. Fertilize once per month with a cactus fertilizer or half-strength houseplant fertilizer spring through late summer. These can be placed outside on a sunny patio during the summer months and brought back inside for winter.
