Product Description

The seeds of Pilosocereus chrysacanthus are small, dark brown to black, and slightly glossy, with a fine, rough texture that aids in moisture retention. Their rounded to oval shape is typical of columnar cacti, allowing them to anchor quickly in well-draining soil. As they germinate, these seeds give rise to a striking blue-green cactus adorned with golden-yellow spines, a signature feature of this rare and ornamental species. With time, the plant matures into an impressive, fast-growing columnar cactus with spectacular nocturnal blooms.
