Details

The architectural, sculptural Polaskia chichipe cristata is a true statement plant, with dramatic crested growth and a rich blue-green colour. Slow-growing and drought-tolerant, it’s a low-maintenance cactus that brings a bold, desert feel to your space.

Light: Polaskia chichipe cristata thrives in bright light and will be happiest in a sunny spot with plenty of indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct sun, especially morning or late afternoon light, but should be introduced gradually to avoid sun scorch. In lower light, growth will slow and the cresting may become less pronounced.

Water: Like most cacti, this plant prefers infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, then water thoroughly and let excess drain away. During the growing season (spring and summer), this may mean watering every 2–4 weeks. In autumn and winter, reduce watering significantly—sometimes as little as once every 4–6 weeks.

Non toxic

Pots size: 12cm

Steve and Lewis are so incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I always leave with a smile on my face and a bag full of really high quality plants and plant related paraphernalia. They only stock the best products, and both shops are 100% good vibes. I’d never shop for my houseplant needs anywhere else. Thank you both!!

The guys at Urban Tropicana always put themselves out and try to help, even though I live hundreds of miles away. If they have a sale or rescue boxes they make sure I can buy some as their plants are always of the highest quality and I really appreciate their customer service, second to none! One of these days I will get to see the fabulous plants in their shops in person.
