These Myrtillocactus stand out among other cacti species due to their frosty blue appearance. These are native to central and northern Mexico. Botanists believe the frosty like appearance is to protect itself from the harsh UV rays of the desert sun. Although be careful not to touch it too much can cause this to rub off!
Care:
These will do best in a very bright light or even full indoor sun. We recommend watering every 2-3 weeks when the soil is completely dry in the spring and summer. Be sure to water less during the cold months as it will be dormant! When re-potting, use a very coarse well draining cacti soil.
All of our plants are ethically sourced from certified U.S. nurseries. We strongly condemn the poaching of plants or wild collection.
