About & Sizing

About The Boobie Cactus

Add some curves to your windowsill with the Myrtillocactus geometrizans 'Fukurokuryuzinboku', known more commonly as the "Boobie Cactus" — a playful nod to the curvy, eye-catching humps up and down its trunk that look like, you guessed it, boobies! With its plump, cascading lobes, this perky succulent is an immediate conversation starter, and the perfect addition to any rare plant collection. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, it's perfect for both beginners and seasoned plant enthusiasts.

Note: Our cacti aren’t cuttings—they’re fully rooted plants! This means they’re already established and ready to thrive in their new home. Succulents naturally have shallow roots, so don’t be surprised if that’s what you see, it’s a completely natural trait!

Frequently Asked Questions

The Boobie Cactus is a rare, monstrous mutation of the Myrtillocactus geometrizans (Blue Candle Cactus). Its botanical cultivar name is 'Fukurokuryuzinboku'. Native to Mexico but meticulously cultivated into its current form by Japanese growers, this cactus is famous for its swollen, breast-like ribs and tubercles that feature a single, small spine on the tip of each nodule.

What is a Boobie Cactus?

The Boobie Cactus grows quite slowly and is highly sought after for its novelty shape. Because it is a specific genetic cultivar mutation, it cannot be reliably grown from seed. Propagation requires taking stem cuttings or removing pups from a mature mother plant, which takes considerable time!

Why is the Boobie Cactus so rare?

A Boobie Cactus thrives in bright, direct sunlight to bright, indirect light. It is not suited for low light conditions. If natural lighting indoors isn't enough, you can always use a grow light.

How much sunlight does a Boobie Cactus need?

A Boobie Cactus thrives in bright, direct sunlight to bright, indirect light. It is not suited for low light conditions. If natural lighting indoors isn't enough, you can always use a grow light.

The Boobie Cactus requires a fast-draining succulent and cactus potting mix or you can DIY your own gritty mixture. Terracotta or unglazed ceramic pots are recommended because they allow excess moisture to evaporate through the container walls, though plastic or ceramic can still work. Always plant it in a pot with drainage holes.
