The Prickly Succulent

Melocactus are ribbed and ball-shaped to cylindrical. The plants are distinguished by a reddish woolly mass, the cephalium, that forms like a cap atop the plant when it reaches a certain age, varying with the species. Carmine to pink flowers push up through the cephalium, only the tips being visible.

CEREUS PERUVIANUS, or the Peruvian Apple Cactus, Is a sub-tropical cactus species that tends to do extremely well in the humidity of the southern east coast 👍🏼. We let ours grow outdoors all spring/summer/fall until the temp drop to 50 at night. Then, we bring them in away from the rain and cold. As long as they stay dry and out of the wind during the winter months, they should be fine for decades to come. Get ready for around a ft of growth per year! 📈
Get yours now by private appointment; Or, for a larger selection, catch us at one of our Pop-Up Events!
🌵These start at $25, and range up to $125 for some of the larger 3-4 footers🌵
Don't hesitate to ask about shipping or what we have available for delivery in the Richmond area.
