Description:

The crested form has the typical compact fan shape, often alternating with columnar stems, so that each specimen is never identical to the other. Normally Pilosocereus palmeri consists in a tall columnar stems (in the wild even 10 meters high!) with well-marked longitudinal ribs of a beautiful glaucous green tending to bluish. Long white hairs protrude from the areoles which contrast nicely with the stem and with the needle-like spines, initially yellow but then tending to take on brown-greyish tones with age. It is a perfect cactus to adorn your rooms, with its wonderful colors combined with the solemn appearance it won’t go unnoticed for sure!

Plant care:

It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 10 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water regularly on a weekly basis in spring-summer, always making sure that the soil is always dry between one watering and another one, avoiding stagnation of water. During the winter period, suspend watering.

A soil suitable for cacti is an optimal solution, even better if further mixed with pumice.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
