Myrtillocactus geometrizans cristata (Smooth Form)
Myrtillocactus geometrizans cristata is a crested form of this well-known blue cactus, valued for its architectural, fan-shaped growth. This particular plant displays a smooth crested expression, with compressed ribs and very sparse to absent spination.
The smooth surface gives the plant a flowing, sculptural appearance that differs noticeably from more heavily ribbed or spined crested forms. As with all crested cacti, each specimen develops a unique shape and growth pattern.
Care
- Light: Bright light with some gentle direct sun. Avoid sudden exposure to harsh midday sun.
- Water: Water sparingly. Allow the mix to dry fully between watering.
- Temperature: Warm conditions preferred. Protect from frost.
- Growing media: Very free-draining cactus mix with high mineral content.
- Feeding: Light feeding during the growing season only.
Key Characteristics
- Growth form: Crested
- Surface: Smooth, folded cresting
- Spines: Very sparse to absent
- Colour: Blue-green to grey-green
- Growth rate: Slow to moderate
- Variation: Each plant develops uniquely
Crested growth is unstable by nature and may change over time. Future growth may show increased ribbing or spine development.
