Toothpick Cactus
Toothpick Cactus (Stetsonia coryne) (Britton & Rose): A tall, tree-like cactus with long, pale spines. It branches out from a well-defined trunk, reaching as much as 26.0' tall in the wild. The blue-green stems have 8-9 ribs lined with spines. It blooms in summer and its 6.0" long, white, funnelform flowers open at night.
This cactus variety will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of temperatures below 40F, it can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Cactus need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 70% to 80% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply and wait for the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
