The cristate form (Myrtillocactus geometrizans f. cristata) is an unusual, sculptural cactus with fan-like, undulating growth. Instead of forming a single upright column, this plant develops a twisting, coral-like crest. A fascinating, slow-growing collector’s specimen. This plant will be sent bare-rooted (without soil) for safe shipping.

Care

Light: Full sun to very bright light encourages compact, sculptural growth.
Water: Water deeply when dry in warmer months; keep almost dry in winter.
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.

Growth Form: Cristate (fan-shaped, coral-like)
Stem Colour: Blue-green with distinctive ribs
