Product Description

The Loxanthocereus aureispinus CRESTED is an extraordinary cactus known for its unique crested form. This plant showcases a stunning fan-shaped growth pattern, making it a standout in any collection. Its vivid green body is densely covered with golden-yellow spines, creating a striking contrast. The crested, or cristate, formation results from a mutation that causes the plant’s growth point to expand into a broad, wavy line rather than a single column. Occasionally, this cactus may produce small, tubular red flowers, enhancing its ornamental value. The Loxanthocereus aureispinus CRESTED is highly coveted for its distinctive appearance and rarity.
