The cristate form (Cereus forbesii f. cristata, syn. Cereus comarapanus) develops spectacular fan-shaped, twisting crests that form an architectural specimen over time. Its blue-green stems and compact growth make it an outstanding feature plant for collectors. This plant will be sent bare-rooted (without soil) for safe shipping.

  • Temperature: Warm-growing, protect from frost.
  • Media: Plant in a free-draining cactus mix.
  • Fertiliser: Apply a low-nitrogen cactus fertiliser during the growing season to encourage healthy growth.

Key Characteristics

  • Stem Colour: Attractive blue-green
  • Spines: Short, evenly spaced along the ribs
  • Size: Forms wide, undulating clumps with age
