Description

The Myrtillocactus geometrizans commonly known as the Blue Candle Cactus, is a fast-growing, multi-branched columnar cactus known for its striking blue-green stems and sculptural form. Native to Mexico, this drought-tolerant and low-maintenance species thrives in desert landscapes, xeriscaping, and large container displays.

Please note: We offer both cuttings (unrooted pieces that will root over time) and bare-root plants (already rooted, but shipped without soil or pot). Some plants may have minor scars, which are totally normal. Any discoloration at the base especially on rooted plants is from previous healthy growth in soil and is not a sign of damage. Every plant is hand-picked and guaranteed to arrive healthy.

Cold Weather Warning

If your area drops below 40°F during the colder months, we highly recommend adding a heat pack to your order, as we don’t automatically include one. This helps keep your plants safe in transit. 🌡️❄️

Cactus Care & FAQs

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 planted or displayed right away. If shipped bare-root, pot it in cactus soil and wait about a week before giving it a light watering to help it settle into its new environment.

Sunlight Introduction
Let your cactus adjust in bright, indirect light for a few days before moving it into full sun, especially if it was shipped in a box.

Light
This cactus loves full sun. Outdoors, give it all the light you can. Indoors, place it by your sunniest window, ideally with 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily.

Watering
Use the soak-and-dry method. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to fully dry before watering again. In cooler months, reduce watering significantly.

Soil & Pots
Use a well-draining cactus mix with sand or perlite. Terracotta pots are ideal. Always use a pot with drainage holes to prevent rot.

Growth & Repotting
Blue Candle Cactus grows quickly and can branch out with age. Repot every 1–2 years, or when the plant becomes root-bound. After repotting, wait about a week before watering.

FAQ

How fast does it grow?
It’s one of the faster-growing columnar cacti. In warm, sunny conditions, it can grow a few feet per year.

How often should I water it?
Only when the soil is fully dry. Typically every 1–2 weeks in summer, and once a month or less in winter.

Can I grow it indoors?
Yes, as long as it gets strong, direct sunlight. A bright south- or west-facing window is ideal.

Will it flower or fruit?
Mature plants can bloom in late winter or spring and may produce small edible blue fruits. However, this is more likely outdoors.

Do I need to fertilize?
You can feed it in spring or summer with cactus fertilizer at half strength, but it's not essential.
