Polaskia chichipe

When you conjure images of the dry dusty Mexican deserts, you’re sure to picture the iconic shape of a Polaskia chichipe, standing tall and proud, its branches poised as if its ready to take on an coming predator. In their native habitat, these tree-like cacti can grow to an incredible 5m tall! Though they won’t ever reach these towering heights indoors, they are a much loved part of a houseplant collection, adored for their sculptural form and green-grey stems that are punctuated with defined ribs.

Watering
