Cleistocactus samaipatanus f. cristata | Crested Samaipata Cactus | 8” Pot
Bring rare, sculptural beauty to your collection with the Crested Samaipata Cactus. This unusual form of Cleistocactus samaipatanus grows in dense, wavy fans instead of traditional upright columns, creating a dramatic shape that resembles coral or a twisting crest. Fine golden spines add texture and highlight its intricate growth pattern.
This collector-worthy cactus makes an eye-catching statement on a sunny patio, in a greenhouse, or near a bright indoor window. It prefers warm temperatures, plenty of light, and fast-draining soil. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to help keep the roots healthy.
