The Cleistocactus strausii, also known as the Silver Torch, is a spectacular columnar cactus that stands out for its long, upright stems entirely covered in fine white to silvery spines. Its almost fluffy appearance and vertical silhouette give it a particularly graphic look. With maturity and under the right conditions, it can also produce stunning dark red to burgundy tubular flowers.

 

Care tips:

Loves very bright light and appreciates several hours of direct sun once it has been gradually acclimated to it. Excellent light promotes compact and vigorous growth.

Water thoroughly, then let the substrate dry out completelybefore watering again. Significantly reduce watering during its dormancy period. It tolerates drought much better than excess moisture.

Prioritize a substrate that is very light, mineral-based, and highly draining, specially adapted for cacti and succulent plants. Excellent drainage is essential to limit the risk of root rot.
