check_circle In Stock
Stenocactus multicostatus “Jenci’s Favorite” is a finely ribbed, collector-grade cactus selected for its dense structure and strong spine contrast. Formerly classified under Echinofossulocactus, this group is prized for its intricate rib patterns, which become more pronounced as the plant matures.
This particular selection stands out with its tightly packed, undulating ribs and clean white spination, giving it a textured, almost architectural appearance. Each plant develops its own subtle variation in rib formation, making every specimen unique.
As the plant matures, it will produce delicate, funnel-shaped flowers from the crown, typically in soft tones of white, cream, or pale pink with contrasting central stripes.
