Cactus 'Variegated Blue Candle'

Botanical Name: Myrtillocactus geometrizans

Common Names: Variegated Blue Flame, Variegated Blue Candle, Variegated Blue Myrtle cactus

Description: Meet the stunning Variegated Blue Candle Cactus! 

This gorgeous cactus stands out with its unique blue-grey, highly branched stems that grow closely together, forming a candelabra-like shape. With its variegated hues, it’s a showstopper in any collection!

While variegated and albino cacti can sometimes be tricky to care for, the Blue Candle is relatively easy to grow, making it perfect for plant enthusiasts looking to add a touch of the extraordinary to their space. However, it’s important to keep it out of harsh, direct sunlight as it can’t tolerate prolonged exposure. Instead, place it in partial shade or under filtered sunlight for optimal growth.

To keep it thriving, water sparingly from March to October, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings. During the winter months, give it a break and keep it dry. 

This low-maintenance cactus is a true gem for any home or office!
