When to prune Pterocactus

Post by Cidermanrolls »

My mature Pterocactus tuberosus is not going to flower this year. Others are, but not this one.
When should I prune it?
Now, to allow new shoots?
Or in autumn?
Or never?

You should prune your P. tuberosus in autumn.
Now it is too late to get new segments that can flower.
