Description

This 4-5" Mexican Cardon cutting (aka Elephant Cactus) from Cactus Warehouse makes for a great starter cactus or can be the perfect addition to a growing cactus collection.

The Pachycereus pringlei commonly known as the Mexican Cardon is a slow-growing giant and the tallest in the cactus world. Highly drought-tolerant, this cactus can live for hundreds of years. During the warmer months, mature plants produce large, creamy-white, night-blooming flowers, which attract pollinators like bats and hummingbirds.

Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil. 

Cold Weather Warning

If your area drops below 40°F during the colder months, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order, as we don’t automatically include one. This helps keep your plants safe in transit. 🌡️❄️

Cactus Care & FAQs

✔ After Arrival: Let your Mexican Cardon acclimate in a shaded, dry area for a few days before planting. Use a well-draining cactus mix, such as sandy soil with added perlite or pumice. Avoid watering for the first week to help it adjust.

✔ Long-Term Care: Place in full sun for the best growth. Water deeply but only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 3-4 weeks in warm months and even less in winter. Protect from hard frost (below 25°F) by bringing it indoors or covering it during extreme cold.

✔ Hardiness Zone: 9-11
