About Plant: The Blue Candle Cactus, known as Myrtillocactus Geometrizans, is a striking, fast-growing species that hails from the deserts of Mexico. Its name comes from its tall, candle-like stems that feature a distinctive bluish-green hue, making it an eye-catching feature in any garden or indoor plant collection. As it matures, it often branches out, creating a candelabra-like shape.
This cactus can reach impressive heights of up to 4-5 meters when grown outdoors in ideal conditions. In spring, the Blue Candle Cactus may surprise you with small, creamy white flowers that eventually give way to edible, blueberry-like fruits, often called "bilberries." These fruits are a fun treat, adding an extra layer of interest to this already charming plant.Please note that this is a live plant. Review all images for any marks/blemishes.
Plant Care: Loves full sun. Also prefers a well-draining cactus or succulent mix (Add a pouch of — Melty Mix for Cacti + Succulents to your cart). Water the plant deeply, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Thrives in warm temperatures and can handle extreme heat in its natural environment. It’s suitable for outdoor cultivation in areas where temperatures stay above 10°C. If growing indoors, keep it in a warm, dry environment. It is not frost-tolerant, so move it inside during cold weather. Also suitable for sunny patios and balconies. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a cactus-specific or balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. No need to fertilize in the winter when the plant is resting. Add a pouch of — Melty Tea to your cart for a boost of microbes for health.
Includes: Pot + Saucer.
