Chamaecereus silvestrii 'Crested'
This form of Brain Cactus will produce clumps 15 to 20 cm across in 5 to 10 years.
This is one of the hardiest of all the brain cactus forms, very rare to flower.
Position - under protected partially-shaded positions outdoors; indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and become more open in growth.
Watering - can be watered all year round and grows fastest in the warmer months. Plants will survive without water for very long periods and remain compact when dry.
Feeding - 25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less tertilizer, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.
Repotting - can be left to overgrow their pots, or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
