Mexican Giant Cardon (Elephant Cactus) (Pachycereus pringlei)
The true giant of the cactus world. Known as the "Elephant Cactus," this legendary species can reach heights of 60 feet in its native desert. Our plants are rooted and available in sizes from 6 to 36 inches, perfect for starting your own desert showpiece.
What you’ll receive:
A healthy, rooted Pachycereus pringlei, available in sizes from 6 inches up to 36 inches. Plants are shipped bare-root and carefully packed for safe delivery.
This cactus is a centerpiece for serious collectors and landscapers. The Mexican Giant Cardon is the largest cactus on Earth, growing taller and more massive than the Saguaro. With age, it forms multiple arms and creates a commanding desert silhouette. In spring, it produces showy white flowers followed by edible red fruit. In well-draining soil and full sun, it grows steadily and thrives in warm, arid climates.
After Arrival
Carefully unpack your cactus as soon as it arrives. Since this is a rooted plant, it already has a developed root system and can be potted right away. Once planted, wait about a week before giving it a light watering to help it settle into its new environment.
Transplant Tips
When transplanting, handle carefully to avoid damaging spines. For larger plants, use support stakes until the root system establishes in the soil.
