Highlights
Stenocactus 'Cinco de Mayo' (Lau): An unusual, mesmerizing cactus with an accordion-like stem and out of this world flowers. It is a small, slow-growing plant with lots of thin, sharp ribs. It has large, fierce spines that curve back toward the stem. It's even more of a showstopper when it blooms with large white flowers striped with pink atop its stem. This plant is small, but fully-rooted in a 3.5" pot.
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.
