Calling all green thumbs! Are you tired of the same old plants in your collection? Looking for something unique that will make your neighbors envious? Introducing the Pilosocereus ulei – a stunning member of the Pilosocereus. It is also known as white head cactus, Ulei's pilosocereus, and Cabeca De Velho. 

Native to Brazil, it is characterized by its tall, columnar stems that can reach impressive heights of up to 20 feet. The stems are covered in dense spines, which give the Pilosocereus plant its unique and striking appearance. 

The flowers of the Pilosocereus ulei are typically white or cream-colored and bloom during the summer months. They are large and showy, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The flowers are followed by the development of small, edible fruits that are enjoyed by birds and other wildlife. 

In terms of growth, the Pilosocereus ulei is known to be a relatively slow-growing cactus. It requires a well-draining soil mix and prefers bright, indirect sunlight. This Pilosocereus cactus is also quite drought-tolerant and can handle periods of dryness, but it's important to provide occasional watering to keep it thriving. Remember to protect it from extreme temperatures and frost during the winter months. You can grow it outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10-11. 

To propagate Pilosocereus ulei, use water propagation, the butterfly method, or the tuber method. Water propagation involves placing stem cuttings in water until roots develop; the butterfly method allows cuttings to callus, and the tuber method removes tubers.
