Fairy Castle Cactus
-
The Fairy Castle Cactus is a captivating and unique miniature columnar cactus known for its whimsical, architectural form. It is a slow-growing cultivar of the species Acanthocereus tetragonus, a member of the Cactaceae family.
Its most distinctive feature is its miniature, multi-branched growth habit, where numerous vertical stems of varying heights grow tightly together, creating a clumping form that strongly resembles the turrets and towers of a fairytale castle—hence its common name. The stems are typically green, have five sides, and are lined with short, woolly, white spines along the ribs.
This is a slow-growing cactus that will take many years to reach its full potential size. The dwarf nature of the 'Fairy Castle' cultivar keeps it a manageable size for indoor pots.
-
Bright Light to Full Sun.
Very Well-Draining Cactus/Succulent Mix. Use a gritty soil mix to prevent water retention. A blend of potting soil, sand, and perlite or pumice works well.
Prefers warm temperatures between 64°F and 79°F (18°C - 26°C) during the growing season. Not frost tolerant; protect from temperatures below 40°F (4°C).
Generally considered Non-Toxic or Mildly Toxic to humans and pets. Due to the spines, it's best to keep it out of reach of curious children and animals.
