  • The Road Kill Cactus is definitely one of those plants that catches your eye straight away. Its flattened, slightly wavy shape gives it a really unusual look — which is actually how it got its name. It’s a bit different from your typical cactus, and that’s what makes it stand out.

  • The green, textured stems grow in a more spread-out, irregular way, giving it a relaxed, slightly wild feel. It works really well on a shelf, desk or as part of a plant display if you want something a little less ordinary.

  • It’s also very easy to look after, so you don’t need to do much to keep it happy. A good option if you like plants but don’t want anything too demanding.

  • Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only and is not included with the plant.

    Watering Allow the compost to dry well between waterings, then water thoroughly and let all excess drain away. These plants cope better with being slightly dry than sitting in wet compost, so never leave the pot standing in water. Reduce watering significantly through the cooler, darker months.

    Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright light with some gentle direct sun, ideally at around 15-24°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use well-drained soil and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. A warm, airy position and lower humidity suit this plant better than a steamy or constantly damp room.

    Top tip

    Give it plenty of light and resist watering on a fixed schedule; allowing the compost to dry between waterings is usually the safest approach. Good drainage is especially important, so avoid leaving the roots sitting in persistently wet or compacted soil.
