Product Description

Arrojadoa heimenii is a rare and elegant columnar cactus endemic to the rocky outcrops of Bahia, Brazil, where it grows in dry, tropical habitats. This slender species features thin, erect to slightly arching stems with well-defined ribs and bristly areoles. It forms an apical cephalium, a woolly flowering zone from which emerge bright pink to magenta tubular flowers, often blooming repeatedly. With its graceful habit, colorful blooms, and tropical xeric origin, it’s a prized species among collectors of Brazilian cacti.
