Description

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, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order. 🌡️❄️

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

Man it ooks great in my collection. I can’t wait to get the next one from them. It came in a box the size of a coffin and had plenty of protection around it as they always do. I love the guys at cactus warehouse and I love their products.

Super cute and healthy cactus

I'm so glad I purchased the rooted version. The root and the cactus itself are super healthy. My order was also packaged well to prevent any bumps and bruises to my cactus order.
