Pilosocereus Pachycladus commonly know as the ‘Blue Columnar Cactus’ is a unique addition to every plant family. Unlike most indoor plants, this Cactus brings a blue shade to your plant colour palette. The plants colour and natural, soft-grey coating contrasts the Cactus spikes, a true work of art by the natural world.

Pilosocereus Pachycladus is a very low maintenance plant that can be cared for by anyone, including children. Like all cacti, the Pilosocereus Pachycladus goes dormant during winter and should be watered very sparingly during this time and kept in a bright, cool position by a window. In summer the plant should be watered more regularly and kept in a very bright space.

Pilosocereus Pachycladus ‘Blue Columnar Cactus’  has spikes which can cause some irritation and therefore touching the plant should be avoided not only for the sake of the plant, but also for your own precious fingers.

Light

Strong light is essential for healthy cacti. Make sure to give them as much light as possible when growing it inside. If you want to bring your cactus outside during the warmer months, make sure to acclimate it to the stronger light step by step or it might scorch.

Soil

fast-draining cacti mix ideally containing sand

Temperatures

Desert cacti love warm temperatures during the summer and cooler temperatures in winter. You can grow your cactus outside during the growing season to give it that extra bit of sun and warmth, which will result in faster growth. However, make sure to bring it back inside before the first freezing nights or it might get frost damage.

Water

When your cactus is actively growing during the growing season, water whenever the soil is dry to the touch. Make sure to water thoroughly when you do. During the winter rest period, only water very rarely and if the plant begins to shrivel. The most common mistake with cacti is overwatering, which will cause rot either at the base of or its growing tips.

Toxicity

Not all cacti are toxic for humans and animals when ingested, but some are. Either way, make sure your pets do not get too close to them due to their prickly spines! Care is needed when handling cacti to prevent injuries.
