Myrtillocactus Seeds

Discover the Blue Elegance of Myrtillocactus

The genus Myrtillocactus features some of the most striking columnar cacti, especially the well-loved myrtillocactus geometrizans, also known as the blue myrtle cactus or blue candle cactus. With its distinctive bluish hue, thick ribs, and occasional crests, this cactus is ideal for collectors and enthusiasts looking to add structure and rare coloration to their collection. Cultivars like myrtillocactus geometrizans fukurokuryuzinboku and crested myrtillocactus geometrizans are especially sought after.

Growing Myrtillocactus from Seed

Myrtillocactus seeds require warmth, well-draining soil, and patience. Germination may take a few weeks, but the reward is a strong, fast-growing cactus that adapts well to container or outdoor cultivation. Species like geometrizans cactus or blue flame cactus thrive in full sun and minimal watering. Seedlings begin with a green tone before developing their iconic blue color as they mature.

From Classic to Crested Forms

One of the most appealing traits of myrtillocactus geometrizans is its tendency to mutate into crested or monstrous forms, such as blue crest cactus or myrtillocactus geometrizans cristata. These unique forms are highly decorative and perfect for rock gardens, containers, or even as indoor specimens in sunny rooms.
