Product Description

This unique clone of Cereus sp. from the north-east of Zacatecas showcases an impressive columnar structure, with tall, ribbed stems reaching skyward. Its bluish-green epidermis is accentuated by prominent vertical ridges, each lined with clusters of sharp, golden to brown spines. At night, it produces large, fragrant white flowers, which attract nocturnal pollinators like moths and bats. This robust cactus is well-adapted to arid conditions, thriving in rocky, well-draining soils with minimal water requirements.
