Dear mindful friend,

Thank you for choosing this special creation from Cactacea x Spiritus Stones. We hope it brings you joy and mindfulness.

Now here’s the fun part; the simple steps to bring your kit to life and take care of your cactus and crystal.

PLANT THE CACTUS

Carefully unpack the cactus from its wrapping. Gently place the plant inside its terracotta pot (its inner pot is biodegradable so it can stay or, if you prefer, remove).

If you need more soil (you want the roots covered), top up the pot (either a succulent potting mix or given you’ll only need a little, perhaps ‘borrow’ from another house plant). Watch for prickles in this process.

ADD THE STONES

Once happily in its new terracotta home, cover the top of the soil from your bag of white stones, and create a small hollow next to the cactus for your crystal.

PLACE THE CRYSTAL

Place the crystal next to the cactus in its hollow. Make it straight or a slight angle, whatever suits your mood, just be sure its sturdy enough to not fall over (we recommend to have the crystal touching the soil, not resting on the stones, so the crystal can best do its work).

WATER AND TEMPERATURE

Tender loving care. Overwatering is the number one no-no for cacti! Remember cactus originate from dry, desert-like conditions, so don’t need much water to survive. When in doubt, wait it out on the water front. Cacti love the room temperature of an average home (a little warmer in summer and cooler in winter). They adore sunshine too, so find a happy spot with lots of sunlight.

A LITTLE PIECE OF MINDFULNESS

Enjoy, and take a moment when you can to reflect on the beauty of your terracotta, hand-made in Mexico planter, your slow-growing cactus and the healing gemstone, living in harmony in this small creation of mindfulness.
