Boobie Cactus (Myrtillocactus)
$48.00
Yes, it is called the Boobie Cactus. No, it never stops being funny. Myrtillocactus geometrizans fma. mamillaris stacks smooth blue green columns with a silhouette that explains the name and sells the plant.
Beneath the joke is a legitimately handsome, slow growing column cactus that asks for a sunny sill and very little else.
Boobie Cactus care
- Light: Full sun to very bright light, a south window ideally.
- Water: Rarely and deeply, only once fully dry, barely at all in winter.
- Soil: Gritty cactus mix with fast drainage.
- Pets: Pet-safety classification is awaiting species-specific verification. Keep this plant away from pets that chew foliage.
- Growth: Slow vertical columns, an inch or few per year.
How fast does a Boobie Cactus grow?
Slowly, which is part of the value. Expect a few inches a year in strong light. It spends its energy thickening those sculptural columns, so treat it like a living object rather than a race.
