The Cereus forbesii 'Spiral Cactus' is a rare, eye-catching cactus known for its mesmerizing spiral growth pattern, which twists in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Ideal for well-lit areas, it’s low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, perfect for beginners and experts alike! With its slow-growing yet captivating form, the Spiral Cactus brings unique architectural interest to any space.

NOTE: Succulents, in general, have shallow roots, so don't be surprised if that's the case with your plant. Additionally, the Spiral cactus are tall, which means that your plant might need a little extra support to stand straight. We suggest using the bamboo stick that arrives with your plant.
