Pilosocereus pachycladus
This Brazilian cactus has a lovely silvery-blue sheen, from which it gets the common name “Blue Torch Cactus”. This cactus is a slow grower, forming a multi-branched candelabra of 10 meters - or even taller - in optimal conditions. Once mature, Pilocereus pachycladus will produce thick, hairy tufts from which white and yellow flowers will emerge on summer nights.

Feed
Use a cactus fertiliser 3-4 times from April - September.
Repotting
