Neobuxbaumia polylopha CRESTED SEEDS -

Description: Neobuxbaumia polylopha CRESTED SEEDS - Neobuxbaumia polylopha, also known as Candelabra Cactus, is a species of columnar cactus native to Mexico. The "crested" form of Neobuxbaumia polylopha, often referred to as "Neobuxbaumia polylopha Crested" or "Crested Candelabra Cactus," is a particularly fascinating and highly sought-after variety due to its unique growth pattern. Here's a detailed description and cultivation tips: Description Appearance: The standard Neobuxbaumia polylopha grows as a tall, straight column, but the crested form develops a unique, fan-shaped or wavy crest at its top. This cresting is caused by a mutation. Texture and Color: The cactus has a green, ribbed surface with areoles that sprout small spines. Size: While the regular Neobuxbaumia polylopha can reach towering heights, the crested form often grows more slowly and is more compact due to its mutation. Flowering: Flowering is rare, especially in the crested form, but if it occurs, the flowers are typically white and bloom near the top of the column. Cultivation Tips Light Requirements: Full sun is ideal. The crested form still requires plenty of light to maintain its health and color, but it may be slightly more sensitive to intense sunlight than the standard form. Soil Conditions: Like most cacti, it requires well-draining soil. A cactus mix or a mixture of regular potting soil with sand or perlite is suitable. Watering: Water sparingly and only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering is a common problem and can lead to rot, especially in crested forms. Temperature and Climate: It is relatively hardy but should be protected from frost. In colder regions, it's best grown in containers that can be moved indoors during winter. Propagation: Propagation of the crested form is usually done through grafting since the mutation doesn't reliably pass to offspring through seeds. Pests and Diseases: Watch out for common cactus pests and diseases. Good air circulation helps prevent fungal diseases. Additional Care Tips Be careful not to damage the crest as it's the most visually striking part of the plant. Rotate the plant periodically to ensure even exposure to sunlight, which encourages even growth.
