What to expect in the box
You will receive the exact Stetsonia coryne pictured, shipped rooted and bare root without soil or a pot. After arrival: the spines are long and sharp, so unbox with thick gloves. Let it rest in a shaded, dry spot for 1-2 days, then plant in a sandy, fast-draining mix or a gravelly full-sun landscape spot, set deep enough to stand steady. Wait about a week before the first watering so the roots can settle, then begin a normal soak and dry routine.

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.

This is the exact plant you will receive. A hand-picked Stetsonia coryne (Argentine Toothpick Cactus), the blue-green columnar named for the long, pale, needle-straight spines that stand out from every rib like toothpicks.

We sell this species regularly, and honestly it is one that belongs in every collection. It is architectural without being fussy, it takes full sun and neglect, and the blue-green skin against those long white spines looks good in a pot or in the ground. This listing is for one specific plant that we picked out and photographed, so you know exactly what is arriving.

  • Light: Full sun
  • Water: Low. Soak and dry, minimal in winter
  • Hardiness: USDA zones 9 to 11
  • Growth: Moderate columnar, branching into a tree with age

Please note: This is a rooted, bare-root plant shipped without soil or a pot. You will receive the exact plant pictured.

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

The Toothpick Cactus is about as easy as columnar cacti get. Sun, drainage, and infrequent water.

  • Light: Full sun. Strong light keeps the blue-green color and long spines at their best.
  • Water: Soak and dry. Water deeply, then let the soil dry out fully. Keep nearly dry in winter.
  • Soil: Sandy, fast-draining cactus mix or a gravelly landscape spot.
  • Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 9-11. Protect from hard frost.
  • Handling: The spines are long, straight, and genuinely sharp. Thick gloves, always.
