Product Description

Bolivicereus samaipatanus is a striking columnar cactus native to the subtropical valleys of Samaipata, Bolivia. It features tall, slender, and arching green stems covered in dense golden to reddish spines, giving it a soft, bristly texture. Its most captivating trait is the display of tubular, bright pink to red flowers, which emerge horizontally from the stem and are pollinated by hummingbirds. Known for its rapid growth, graceful form, and floral beauty, it thrives in warm, well-lit spaces and is a favorite in South American cactus gardens.
