Blue Torch Cactus

Blue Torch Cactus

The Blue Torch Cactus, scientifically known as Pilosocereus azureus, is a captivating addition to any succulent collection. This rare and slow-growing cactus is native to the semi-tropical regions of South America, particularly Brazil. It is distinguished by its striking blue-green stems and contrasting golden spines, which make it a standout among cacti. The Blue Torch Cactus typically grows in a columnar shape, reaching heights of 3 to 6 metres over time, although it can grow taller in its natural habitat. Its unique blue hue becomes more pronounced with adequate sunlight, as the plant develops a waxy coating that acts as a natural sunscreen.  This cactus is well-suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, thriving in bright light and well-draining soil. It is drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal maintenance. During the summer, the Blue Torch Cactus blooms with large, white flowers that open at night, attracting nocturnal pollinators such as moths and bats. These blooms add an elegant touch to the cactus's already striking appearance.  Despite its exotic look, the Blue Torch Cactus is relatively easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. Notes: This impressive specimen is a rare find, having taken over two years to reach its current size. Due to its substantial dimensions, it must be collected or delivered from our greenhouse in Coogee and within the Sydney metro area. Height ~ 40cm (plant), 65cm (pot + Plant) Width ∼ 30cm
