Scientific Name: Trichocereus Bridgesii Monstrous

Behold the intriguing beauty of Trichocereus bridgesii monstrous, commonly known as the Monstrose Bolivian Torch Cactus. This variety is celebrated for its unusual, irregular growth patterns, creating a unique and captivating form. Unlike its straight-growing counterparts, the Monstrose variety twists and turns, producing bulbous and knobby segments. Its green to blue-green skin is accented with short, stout spines. The cactus occasionally graces onlookers with gorgeous, night-blooming white flowers. This plant is not just a cactus; it's a living sculpture, a statement piece for any garden or indoor space that seeks a touch of the extraordinary.

🌵 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.
