Description
The Boobie Cactus is a rare succulent prized for its unusual, sculptural shape. This Japanese cultivar of Blue Myrtle Cactus has a blue-green, column-shaped body with rounded, bumpy ribs. These distinctive curves give the plant its playful name and make every specimen look a little different. Slow-growing and eye-catching, it makes a fun addition to cactus collections and sunny indoor spaces.
Give your Boobie Cactus bright indirect light and a warm, dry environment for healthy growth. Plant it in a well-draining cactus mix and let the soil dry completely between waterings. Avoid excess moisture, especially during cooler months, since wet soil can lead to root rot. This cactus may develop sharp spines, so place it where children and pets cannot easily reach it.
