Stenocereus beneckei

A silvery-white film coats the surface of this Central Mexico native. Thick, columnar stems produce lumpy ribs with almost black spines, while more mature areas lower down the stems fade to a grey-green colour. Its rare, nocturnal blooms are cream or green-brown in colour. This unusual cactus would fit perfectly into the background of an apocalyptic sci-fi scene.

Watering

Water when soil is 100% dry. Water lightly (if at all) during cold winter months. 

Light requirements

Full sun.

Feed

If not repotting then you can use a well-balanced cactus feed every month from April - September.

Repotting

Repot this plant every two years to replenish the soil and to allow extra room for the roots to spread out. Use a well-draining and gritty cactus compost.

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.
