Product Description

The Castellanosia caineana is a rare columnar cactus native to Bolivia, known for its tall, ribbed green stems adorned with clusters of golden-brown spines. This slow-growing yet majestic cactus species develops a lateral cephalium, from which striking tubular white to pale pink nocturnal flowers emerge, followed by small, fleshy red fruits. Adapted to rocky, arid environments, it thrives in well-draining soils and adds a bold, sculptural element to xeriscapes and cactus collections. Its impressive stature and unique flowering habit make it a prized find for enthusiasts.
