Suitable for growing in loose and well-drained soil. Sandy soil or specialized succulent plant potting soil can be used.

Relatively cold-tolerant, but also needs to maintain an appropriate temperature in winter to avoid freezing. The suitable growth temperature is generally between 10°C and 25°C.
- Maintenance points
Choose an appropriate container: Due to the special form of the crested Pelecyphora aselliformis, a wider and shallower container should be chosen so that the plant can fully spread out.
Provide good ventilation: Good ventilation can reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases and at the same time help the soil dry and avoid water accumulation.
Pay attention to fertilization: During the growing season, an appropriate amount of specialized fertilizer for succulent plants can be applied, but avoid excessive fertilization to prevent fertilizer damage.
Handle carefully: Pelecyphora plants contain certain alkaloids, so avoid eating them by mistake. When handling the plant, it is best to wear gloves to avoid skin allergies.
