Eve's Needle Crested Cactus
Drought tolerant when established. A very popular crested form with undulating green fans.
This cactus stands out with its long, cylindrical stems covered in small, deciduous leaves (which is unusual for opuntias) and long, sharp spines. It has a tree-like growth habit, potentially reaching several feet in height. Like most cacti, it's relatively low-maintenance, making it suitable for beginners. It thrives on infrequent watering, making it perfect for those who tend to forget to water their plants. Requires plenty of sunlight, ideally full sun for optimal growth. Can be grown indoors with sufficient light or outdoors in warm climates (USDA zones 9-11). Produces red or orange flowers, adding to its visual appeal.
This cactus is shipped bare root (no soil or pot). All potted plants are local pickup only.
