The Cereus forbesii 'Spiralis', commonly known as the Spiral Cactus or Tornado Cactus, is a spectacular columnar cactus prized for its unique, architectural growth habit. The parent species, Cereus forbesii, is native to the arid regions of South America, particularly Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia.
When mature, the Spiral Cactus produces large, stunning, and fragrant night-blooming flowers. These showy blooms are typically white or pinkish-white and are ephemeral, often lasting only for a single night, adding an element of dramatic beauty to the plant's already striking appearance.
Its fast growth and low-maintenance needs, combined with this rare and spectacular visual appeal, make the Spiral Cactus a truly unique and sought-after centerpiece in any plant collection or landscape.
This cactus thrives in bright, direct sunlight. Full sun exposure encourages the tightest and most well-defined spiral growth.
Use a very well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix, ideally amended with extra perlite, pumice, or coarse sand to ensure quick drainage and prevent root rot.
The cactus prefers warm to hot temperatures, ideally ranging from 65°F to 90°F (18°C to 32°C). Protect it from freezing temperatures and cold drafts.
Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry to the touch. This cactus is very drought-tolerant. Significantly reduce or stop watering during the winter dormancy period.
The Cereus forbesii 'Spiralis' is non-toxic to pets and humans. However, like all cacti, its sharp spines can cause physical injury and should be handled with care and kept out of reach of small children and animals.

The more plants you order, the more you can claim, up to a maximum of $50 gift card per order.

Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered
light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do
NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour
off any excess water after a few minutes.
The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot
area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended
periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
