CACTUS, TUBEROUS ROOTED AND RARE 
Very interesting group. Most of the species grow from 
so called tubers, or fleshy roots. Dormant during the sum- 
mer months for us, and through this period they should be 
kept dry. Growth starts in the early Fall. Water sparing- 
ly, gradually increasing the amount until full growth. Re- 
quires copious watering in flowering period, which for us is 
from January to June on most varieties. The tubers can be 
repotted as required in sandy soil, adding bone meal for 
fertilizer.
