Lophocereus schottii

plant details:

• Size: Can grow up to 20 feet in the wild, but typically much smaller in containers (around 3-5 feet).
• Flowering: night-blooming flowers that are white or pinkish.
• Colour: blue-green stems that give it a beautiful and unique appearance.
• Hardiness: Thrives in full sunlight and hot, dry conditions, making it an excellent choice for arid and low-maintenance landscapes.
• Growth Rate: Moderate growth rate, ideal for container growing.

Care Instructions:

• Sunlight: requires full sun for optimal growth. Ensure the plant gets at least 6 hours of sunlight each day.
• Watering: Water sparingly. This cactus is drought-tolerant, so let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Over-watering can lead to root rot.
• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent soil is ideal. A mix with sand or perlite will promote good drainage.
• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures (70°F to 100°F) and can tolerate heat well. It is not frost-tolerant, so protect it during cold weather.
• Fertilising: Feed with a diluted cactus fertiliser during the growing season (spring and summer).

Uses:

• Landscape Design: Perfect for xeriscaping, adding an architectural touch to desert or drought-resistant gardens.
• Indoor Plant: A beautiful addition to any sunny indoor space.
• Unique Decor: The striking appearance of the Senita Cactus makes it a conversation piece and a standout in any collection.
