Description:
The Columnar cactus is a striking plant native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, known for its cylindrical body and waxy coating. It features short, dusty red-purple spines and trumpet-shaped bright pink blooms that attract bees and butterflies. This cactus can grow up to 10 inches tall and 8 inches wide and prefers well-draining, airy, and nutrient-rich soil. It thrives in bright, indirect light indoors and full sun outdoors after acclimation. Watering should be done every 2-3 weeks during the growing season and every 4-6 weeks during the dormant season. It is best suited for USDA zones 8-11 and benefits from a balanced cactus fertilizer once a year in spring.
