Notocactus werdermannianus monstruoso [bare root]

Highlights

The Notocactus werdermannianus 'Monstruoso' is a rare and eye-catching monstrose form of the classic Notocactus werdermannianus, featuring irregular, knobby, and contorted growth that gives it a truly one-of-a-kind appearance. This unusual cactus showcases dense clusters of tubercles and spines in unpredictable patterns, making each specimen uniquely sculptural. Its compact size and dramatic texture make it a standout in any succulent or cactus collection. Easy to care for, it thrives in bright light with well-draining soil and infrequent watering, and it may occasionally produce bright yellow flowers in the right conditions. A must-have for collectors who appreciate the bizarre beauty of monstrose cacti.

This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures 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.
