Bridgesii Monstrose- 'penis cactus'

Bridgesii Monstrose, often nicknamed the Penis Cactus due to its humorous, distinctly contorted growth, is a rare and sought-after cultivar in the cactus world. Native to Bolivia, this monstrose form of Trichocereus bridgesii develops irregular, columnar stems with a lumpy, sculptural appearance that makes each specimen truly unique. It’s a bold conversation piece and a collector’s favourite for its bizarre yet fascinating shape.

Main Features:

• Rare monstrose form with unpredictable, phallic-shaped growth

• Thick, irregular stems in a blue-green tone

• Excellent as a specimen plant or collector’s novelty

• Slow-growing and long-lived

• A natural sculptural feature for indoor or outdoor cactus gardens

Care Tips:

• Light: Requires full sun to partial shade. Indoors, place in a bright, sunny location.

• Watering: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce or stop watering in winter.

• Soil: Use a fast-draining cactus mix with added perlite or pumice.

• Temperature: Prefers warm, dry conditions. Protect from frost (minimum 10°C recommended).

• Fertilizer: Feed during the growing season with a low-nitrogen cactus fertilizer once a month.

• Propagation: Can be propagated from cuttings. Allow cut ends to callous before planting.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
