Acanthocereus tetragonus 'Fairytale Cactus'

Acanthocereus tetragonus 'Fairytale Cactus,' often referred to as the 'Fairytale Cactus,' is a striking and whimsical variety of cactus known for its twisting, irregular growth that gives it a fantastical, almost otherworldly appearance. This cactus features thick, green stems with four distinct, ridged edges, and as it matures, the stems become more contorted, curling and spiraling in captivating shapes. Despite its dramatic form, the cactus remains relatively compact, typically reaching heights of 3 to 5 feet. It lacks prominent spines but is covered with fine, small tufts of white hair-like spines along its ribs, adding to its textured, magical look. In late spring to summer, the 'Fairytale Cactus' produces large, nocturnal white flowers that open in the evening, often with a subtle, sweet fragrance. Acanthocereus tetragonus 'Fairytale Cactus' thrives in well-draining soil and prefers bright, direct sunlight, making it a perfect choice for succulent collections, as a decorative feature, or in desert-themed gardens. Its enchanting, sculptural form makes it a standout plant for any cactus enthusiast.
