Twisted Sensation
The Spiral Cactus is a South American native that is known for its unique and distinctive growth pattern. Unlike typical cacti that grow directly upwards, the Spiral Cactus features a twisting spiral shape that winds around its center in a clockwise or counterclockwise manner.
The Spiral Cactus has a green-blue hue and a waxy texture. It has ribbed sides that create clusters of spines and produce large flowers that typically flower at night during the summer season. If pollinated, it produces an edible purple fruit.
The Spiral Cactus also known as a twisted cactus, grows to a mature size of up 6-15 feet with a thickness of 4-5 inches. Its organized curves make it an eye-catching plant that brings beauty wherever it is placed.
The Spiral Cactus prefers dry soil and bright, direct sunlight. It thrives outdoors in optimal conditions or in a pot near a window. This cactus is perfect for instantly adding natural beauty to any room in your home or office.
