it is an horticol hybrids

normally a calcareous substrate like their parent

a very good light but not inevitably the sunshine

watering all the 15 days or on a month ( by capillarity )

actually in dormancy no watering , keep just the substrate slightly wet .

Our full sun is too hot for Mex. Pings. I suggest you give it 70 % shade. You can let it to sit on water tray. But the water level must be low. 1 cm should be ok.

yes in shade or with a morning sunlight ( always less hot here in europe)

for me do not keep the mexican ( or hybrids) ping stagnate in the water , between 2 watering always keep the substrate dry .

and make to them a dormancy
