WaterLow water. Only when soil is fully dry
USDA zones10-11, hardy to about 30F
Mature sizeIn the ground, eventually 6-10 ft tall and about 1.5 ft wide; can branch at the base to form a small cluster. In a pot it stays much smaller, usually under 1-2 ft for many years.
Time to matureSlow-growing and long-lived; reaching full 6-10 ft height takes many years (commonly 10+ years). No precise inches-per-year figure is published, but growth speeds up somewhat with age.
Ships asRooted plant, bare root, no pot or soil
What to expect in the box

Your plant is hand-picked, wrapped in protective kraft paper, and shipped on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. It arrives bare root: a fully rooted plant shipped without a pot or soil, ready to plant right away.

Minor scars or pitting on the skin are normal for hardgrown cacti. Any discoloration near the base is from previous healthy growth in soil and is not a sign of damage.

Cacti can look slightly dull after a few days in a dark box. Color returns within a week or two of bright light. If your area drops below 40F, we recommend adding a heat pack to your order, as one is not automatically included.
