Product Description
Bolivicereus serpens is a rare, shrubby to sprawling columnar cactus native to the high-altitude valleys of Bolivia, where it grows among rocks and dry slopes. Its name "serpens" refers to its serpentine, curving stems, which are covered in prominent ribs and lined with small, fuzzy areoles bearing short, dense spines. In the growing season, it produces striking pink to magenta tubular flowers, followed by small, spiny fruits. Known for its unusual growth habit and rugged beauty, it is a favorite among collectors of Andean cacti.
