Perfect for adding a dramatic desert feel to your space, this cactus embodies the wild beauty of nature in its most majestic form.

🌵 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.
