Morawetzia sericata SEEDS

Morawetzia sericata is a distinctive and attractive species of cactus native to the high altitudes of Bolivia and Argentina. This species stands out for its columnar growth habit, often reaching impressive heights of up to 2-3 meters when fully mature. The cactus typically grows with a single central stem, but it can also branch out to form multiple stems from the base.

The surface of Morawetzia sericata is marked by deep green color and prominent vertical ribs. These ribs are adorned with areoles, from which emerge clusters of spines. The spines are usually yellowish or brownish, adding a decorative contrast to the dark green of the cactus.

One of the most remarkable features of Morawetzia sericata is its flowering habit. The cactus produces large, showy flowers that are typically white or pale pink in color. These flowers bloom nocturnally, opening in the evening and closing by the next morning, and are known for their delightful fragrance.

Morawetzia sericata is a highly valued species among cactus collectors and enthusiasts due to its striking appearance and impressive stature. It requires well-draining soil and should be watered moderately, with reduced watering in the winter months. The plant prefers bright light but should be protected from intense midday sun to prevent scorching. Its tall, columnar shape and attractive flowers make it an excellent choice for adding architectural interest to cactus gardens, rockeries, or as a standalone specimen in a spacious indoor setting.
