There are many reasons you would want to add a topsoil dressing to your plants, not only it will make your plant look more attractive, but it can protect your plants from standing water and rot.

Melocactus caesius

Flowers: dark purple to light pink
Blooming season: spring to summer, the flowers open late in the afternoon.
Cultivation and propagation: It grows from April to October, it can’t endure long stretches of total dryness, and also too much water will rot it, as its weak root systems tends to be inefficient at sucking up water from wet soil. Nonetheless, again as a result of their tropical origins, they need a fair amount of water, but allow the soil to dry quite a bit before watering again.
Melocactus caesius rests from October to April but can’t stand cold, or even fairly cool temperatures, so it is indispensable to keep it above 8-12°C at all times. The root system is weak and generally resents being repotted and can take a long time to re-establish. The soil mix should be very quick draining, prefers very bright light.
