Boobie Cactus - Myrtillocactus geometrizans
Myrtillocactus geometrizans ‘Boobie Cactus’ is a rare and eye-catching monstrose form of the Blue Candle Cactus, known for its sculptural columns lined with rounded, cascading bumps. Each bump is topped with a central spine, creating a repeating, vertical pattern that gives the plant its famously playful nickname. The soft blue-green coloring and unusual texture make it a true conversation piece, perfect for adding a bold, artistic touch to any cactus collection.
Available in a 4" pot, approx 6" tall
Light : Prefers bright light to full sun. For best growth and shape, place in a sunny window or outdoors in direct sunlight (after proper acclimation).
Water : Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away. Reduce watering significantly in cooler months.
Soil : Requires a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. Adding extra perlite or sand will help prevent excess moisture around the roots.
Bloom : Mature plants may produce small, pale flowers followed by berry-like fruits, though blooming is uncommon in indoor conditions.
Propagation : Can be propagated from cuttings. Allow cut ends to callous before placing in dry, well-draining soil to root.
Fun Fact : This quirky cactus is a monstrose mutation, meaning its unusual, bumpy growth pattern is the result of irregular cell development—making each plant completely unique in its shape and form.
