This cactus is so cool and unique! It looks like it was brought here from an alien planet! Beware though, this cactus hides glochids within those uniquely long and spindly spines, so be sure to wear gloves when handling. Plant in a well-draining soil. Adding perlite to a common potting or cactus soil is often helpful with water retention issues. Be sure to plant this cactus in an area that receives lots of sunlight and only water when soil is fully dry. In colder climates, you may be able to water sparingly or withhold altogether during the winter.
You will receive the plant shown in photos. Plants will ship bare root, no pot or soil is included with this item. ***PLEASE NOTE*** This cactus is segmented and the joints are very delicate. It may not make it in one piece! *** No need to fret! Just place each piece in soil and allow them to root, Eventually, they'll grow pups as well :)
Plants shipped with roots should be planted into dry soil and left without water for at least one week to ensure roots are healed and to minimize the chances of root rot or any other issues that may develop.
Plants can be sensitive during shipping, so please consider the weather in your area before ordering. We offer heat or cold packs to aid in shipping. If you would like one, please add it to your order and we'll happily pack it along with your plants for shipping. There is no additional shipping charged for the heat/cold packs.
Grown in Glendale, Arizona. Some plants and cactus may have small flaws, missing spines, imperfections, cosmetic damage or scars. These blemishes don't harm the plant and only add to their unique character! We do our best to capture these in our photos so you know exactly what you’re getting, but no person (or plant!) is perfect :)
As with all new plants you add to your collection, please take care to keep your new plant baby separated for a week or so and be on the lookout for any unwanted pests or infections. We do our best to ensure this is not an issue, but caution is always recommended
