The Argentinian Toothpick Cactus is a tall growing columnar species that may reach a height of 20 feet. As it matures, the plant will grow arms that are decorated with the same long spines found on the trunk.
All sides of the exact cactus being offered is shown in the listing photos. The stem stands 10-1/2 inches above the soil and is up to 3 inches in diameter. These measurements do not include the length of the spines that are up to 3-1/2 inches long. This cactus is shown growing in a 6 inch container, however it will be shipped without the soil or pot.
The Toothpick cactus may survive temperatures as low as 20 degrees Fahrenheit but exposure to below freezing conditions should be limited. Plant them in cactus soil that has been amended with 20 to 40% sand and place them in a location that receives plenty of sunlight. Water when dry during spring and summer and only once every 4 to 6 weeks during fall and winter.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not use heat packs and we are not responsible for damage related to the plant being exposed to cold temperatures.
