Cacti - Micranthocereus Flaviflorus
Micranthocereus flaviflorus, also known as the Golden-Flowered Micranthocereus, is a unique and sought-after columnar cactus native to Brazil. Its slender, elongated stems and contrasting golden blooms make it a striking addition to any cactus or succulent collection.
Appearance:
Stems: Multiple, slender, upright stems that grow in a clumping or branching fashion. The stems are typically a light green to bluish-green color, covered in numerous ribs adorned with small areoles (bumps) bearing clusters of fine, yellowish spines.
Flowers: As the name suggests, it produces beautiful, golden-yellow flowers that bloom nocturnally. The flowers are relatively small but numerous, emerging from the sides of the stems, creating a charming display.
Size: This cactus can reach up to 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) tall and form a dense cluster of stems over time.
Growth Habits and Care:
Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade.
Soil: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix.
Watering: Water moderately during the growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In winter, reduce watering significantly as the cactus goes dormant.
Additional Information:
Micranthocereus flaviflorus is a relatively slow-growing cactus, making it a good choice for container gardening.
Its unique columnar form, contrasting spines, and beautiful yellow flowers make it a highly desirable addition for collectors and enthusiasts.
The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
