A. Kotschoubeyanus can tolerate temps as low as 15 degrees Fahrenheit. A non-organic soil, with some calcium and low nitrogen is ideal. Organic soil tends to be more acidic, and cacti typically prefer more alkaline soils. They need very little water, easily going a year without it, and absolutely require good drainage to avoid rot. Watering from below the plant, allowing the soil to wick up water until it reaches the top is the preferred mode of watering. Water should only be given during active growth. Mature plants will tolerate full sun, but some protection is recommended since it normally grows in the shade of bushes in the wild.
