Cereus (Monvillea) spegazzinii f. cristata monstruosa
This crested form is truly monstrous. Unpredictable, contorting stems grow with cold, blue and purple hues, while tiny black spines grow from scattered areoles in a cobweb-like, white felt. These sculptural crests can sometimes produce normal shoots.
Watering
Water thoroughly and regularly when soil is 100% dry during the spring/summer months. Refrain from watering during the winter months.
Light requirements
Full sun.
Feed
Use a cactus fertiliser 3 times between March - November.
Repotting
This species can live in the same pot for several years. Repotting may only be necessary once every 2-3 years (or longer), once roots begin to protrude out of the drainage holes. Use a well draining cactus compost, adding extra drainage medium such as perlite, pumice or grit.
Pot size / height
See available sizes below. Please note that, due to their natural variability, specimens' height may be within 10-20% of the stated height below.
Plant is supplied in its plastic nursery pot.
