Description:

Native to the mountainous regions of Bolivia, this striking cactus is known for having some of the longest spines in the cactus world. Though it grows slowly, it’s surprisingly easy to care for and makes a bold, sculptural addition to any collection. As it matures, it forms a tree-like shape, branching from the base of the main stem. Over time, it can reach impressive heights of up to 15 meters, with thick branches growing up to 2 feet wide. Its bright green stems are covered in distinctive brownish spines, giving it a dramatic and rugged appearance.

During the summer, mature plants produce beautiful white or soft pink flowers, though blooming typically only occurs in fully grown specimens. With its unique look, minimal maintenance needs, and non-toxic nature, this cactus is a great choice for collectors and desert landscape enthusiasts alike. It’s both visually impressive and safe for homes with pets or children.

Please note: The image is representative, the plant may vary slightly since each plant is unique.

Care Guide

Light
Thrive in full sun or bright indirect light. They require at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily to grow optimally. High levels of light are needed to flower and for good spine development. Can be sunburned if moved from shade into full sun too quickly. If grown indoors, place them near a south or west-facing window where they can receive plenty of light.

Water
Water every 2–3 weeks in spring and summer, adjusting based on temperature and humidity. In the cooler months, water sparingly, about once every 4–6 weeks. Always allow the soil to dry completely between waterings and avoid letting the plant sit in water to prevent overwatering and root rot.

Soil
The soil should be a well-draining mix of pumice, clay, and loam to prevent root rot, to which the plant is susceptible. A perforated pot is recommended to ensure proper water drainage.
