Product Details

Highlights

Unicorn Cactus (Eulychnia castanea f. spiralis): Rare collector's cactus. This form has blue green stems shaped like a unicorn's horn that spiral as they mature. This is a bare root plant and measures 3"-4" 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.

“Found what I wanted. It was so easy. Now the hard part is finding a few square inches of unplanted ground in my succulent garden.”

Succulent addiction. I got it bad. Hardy Sedums do well for me in Oklahoma.
