Pachycereus Pringlei

Description

• This cactus from Mexico and the Southwest of the United States is a genus of perennial, columnar, slow-growing cactus. Blue-green in color, provided with 10-15 ribs. The funnel-shaped flowers are very rare to be produced in cultivation since they only appear in specimens of more than 3 m in height. The fruit of this cactus is edible.
• It likes very bright places, however, avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day.
• It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 5 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
• Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. Water it once a week in spring and summer and once a month in autumn and winter.
• A well-draining and porous soil is an optimal solution, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice or lapilli.
• They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
