Myrtillocactus Geometrizans Cristata, Larger Crested Elite Blue Candle Cactus, Two Plants To Choose From - Free US Shipping
$85.00
The plants being made available in this listing are large and healthy examples of a very rare and unusual cactus. The crested form of Myrtillocactus geometrizans (also known as Dinosaur Back, Crested Blue Myrtle Cactus, Crested Blue Flame and Crested Blue Candle Cactus) is highly sought after by collectors. These particular specimens are made even rarer by the fact that they are the "Elite" variety, having more vivid coloration and a tighter growth habit than plants of the standard variety.
These are very attractive plants that are also relatively cold hardy. They continue to branch, produce new crests and stalks over time ensuring that every specimen has a unique shape.
All sides of the exact two plants are shown in the listing photographs. They are identifiable using their corresponding letters. Both were photographed growing in their 8 inch diameter pots and will be shipped with very little soil and without their containers.
Plant "A": Diameter of 7 x 6 inches. It stands up to 5-3/4 inches tall when measured from the soil to the top of the highest point.
Plant "B": Diameter of 8 x 8 inches. It stands up to 5-1/2 inches tall when measured from the soil to the top of the highest point.
Although they can survive temperatures as low as 25 degrees, protection from frost and freezing should be provided if at all possible. Needs are typical of most other cacti: Plant them in well draining soil and in a planter having plenty of drainage. Water when dry during summer months and only once per month at other times of the year. Full sun is ideal but they may scorch if exposed to intense summer sunlight.
