Cereus forbesii 'Spiralis' - Spiral Cactus [extra large]

Highlights

Cereus forbesii 'Spiralis': An ocean blue Cereus cactus with a remarkable spiraling habit. This plant can grow into a tall alien monstrosity with spiraling branches. It also has gorgeous white flowers that, when pollinated, form large purple fruits. This 8"-10" plant ships fully rooted in a 3.0" pot.

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.
