Botanical Name:
Austrocylindropuntia cylindrica
Common Names:
Cane Cactus
Plant Category:
Cactus
Plant/Product Description:
The Austrocylindropuntia cylindrica, commonly known as Cane Cactus, is a striking, columnar cactus native to South America. Its long, cylindrical stems are covered in spines, giving the plant a unique, sculptural appearance. This cactus forms clusters of branches that can grow up to several feet tall, creating a bold focal point in desert landscapes or container gardens. In late spring to summer, it produces vibrant, tube-shaped flowers that range from yellow to pink, attracting pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. Known for its hardiness and ability to thrive in harsh conditions, Cane Cactus is ideal for low-maintenance gardens, xeriscaping, and indoor collections.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun. Bright light enhances its growth and vibrant flowering potential.
- Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering in cooler months, as this cactus is highly drought-tolerant.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for aeration and drainage.
- Propagation: Propagate through stem cuttings or offsets that form at the base of the plant. Allow cuttings to callous before replanting in well-draining soil.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs, aphids, or scale insects. Routine inspections help maintain plant health.
Toxicity:
The Cane Cactus is mildly toxic to humans and pets if ingested, and its spines can cause skin irritation. Handle with care and keep out of reach of children and animals.
