Cereus forbesii 'Spiralis' - Spiral Cactus [bare root] [landscape quality]

Highlights

Cereus forbesii 'Spiralis': An ocean blue cactus with a remarkable mutated form. This plant can grow into a tall alien monstrosity with spiraling branches. These landscape quality specimens sometimes have light scarring and are not always true spirals, though many will develop more distinct spiraling with time. This plant ships as a bare root specimen with no pot. The bare root plant measures 7"-12" long.

This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of temperatures below 40F, it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
