Highlights
Polaskia chende (Gibson & Horack): A bright green columnar cactus with ribs lined with spines. In its native habitat in Mexico it can reach 20.0' tall at maturity and grow many branches for a tree-like form. It will, however, survive and stay small potted indoors on a sunny window sill. This species can produce fragrant white flowers with pink tips, followed by small, red to purple fruit. This is a bare root plant that measures 2.5"-6" long.
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.
