Product Description

The seeds of Pilosocereus collinsii are small, dark brown to black, and slightly glossy, with a finely textured surface that enhances moisture absorption. Their rounded to oval shape ensures stable germination in well-draining soil. Once sprouted, these seeds give rise to a striking blue-green columnar cactus, adorned with prominent golden spines and soft, woolly areoles. As it matures, this fast-growing species can develop tall, branching stems and produce beautiful nocturnal white flowers, making it a standout addition to any cactus collection.
