Stetsonia coryne - Toothpick Cactus [extra large]

Highlights

Toothpick Cactus (Stetsonia coryne) (Britton & Rose): A tall, tree-like cactus with long, pale spines. It branches out from a well-defined trunk, reaching as much as 26.0' tall in the wild. The blue-green stems have 8-9 ribs lined with spines. It blooms in summer and its 6.0" long, white, funnelform flowers open at night. This species is native to Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay. This plant is fully rooted in a 5.0" 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.
