Myrtillocactus geometrizans Montrose Variegata
Myrtillocactus geometrizans Montrose Variegata combines three desirable traits in one plant: the strong blue-green colouring of the species, irregular montrose growth, and striking cream to yellow variegation. Each specimen develops its own twisted branching habit, making every plant a one-off.
Care
- Light: Bright light to full sun. Increase sun gradually to avoid scorch on pale variegated areas.
- Water: Water well during active growth, then allow the mix to dry between waterings.
- Temperature: Warm growing in spring and summer. Protect from frost and prolonged cold.
- Media: Very free-draining cactus mix with added pumice, gravel or coarse mineral content.
- Feeding: Apply low-strength fertiliser during warmer growing months.
- Growth Habit: Upright branching cactus with irregular knuckled and contorted montrose growth.
Key Characteristics
- Colour: Blue-green stems with cream, yellow or lime variegation.
- Form: Montrose growth creates unpredictable ridges, folds and branching.
- Growth Rate: Moderate to fast when warm and well established.
- Collector Appeal: No two plants develop the same shape or pattern.
- Maturity: Can become an impressive architectural specimen over time.
- Hardiness: Drought tolerant once established.
