    • Myrtillocactus geometrizans (also known as Bilberry Cactus, Cactus Myrtle, or Blue Candle) is a rare shrubby cactus that can grow up to 16.5 feet (5 m) tall. As it reaches maturity, the cactus grows branches that resemble a candelabrum, hence its nickname "Blue Candle".

      Its stems each has from 5 to 8 ribs with spine-bearing areoles about 1.2 inches (3 cm) apart.

      Its creamy and greenish-white flowers bloom in March, which turn into sweet, edible, dark red, berry-like fruits.

      Green Thumb Guarantee

      Worried about plant care? We’ve got you covered! If your plant care goes haywire within 6 months of your order, you can claim a $15 gift card for your plant.
      How it works:
      • For each plant, you can receive a gift card.
      • The more plants you order, the more you can claim, up to a maximum of $50 gift card per order.
      • One-time claim per order.
      • For subscriptions, you can claim once per subscription.
      • Valid for orders from Aug 28, 2024- Dec 31, 2024
      • Email your order number & plant pictures to support@succulentsbox.com to claim your gift card
    • 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.

    Nice and blue!

    The cactus is very blue (just what I wanted!) and it was packed well. I appreciated that it was separate from the pot with dirt. However, only 4 stars because it took 8 days to arrive via USPS with no heat pack in below freezing temps. I hope it will be ok, and looks alright so far. I’ll update if the long transit time takes its toll.

    Nice Quality

    Beautiful Cactus

    I love the look of these species. I have one tall Blue Myrtle already. Great plant
    Adding to collection
    Nice cactus that doesn’t look pointy
    I had one previously and loved it, but sadly it didn't make it through the winter.
    I don’t have this one lol
