T richocereus bridgesii crested, also known as the crested variety of the Penis cactus ‘Trichocereus bridgesii monstrose.’ The Trichocereus bridgesii crested, as its name suggests, is a unique and fascinating variation of the Trichocereus bridgesii cactus. This crested penis cactus is also known as Trichocereus bridgesii cristata and Trichocereus bridgesii monstrous cristata.
This Trichocereus bridgesii cristata is characterized by its distinctive crested growth pattern, which gives it a wavy and undulating appearance. This crested penis cactus is a result of a genetic mutation, causing the cactus to develop abnormal growth patterns.
The crested penis cactus has thick, ribbed stems that can grow up to 10 inches tall. The crested growth causes the stems to form intricate and irregular patterns, making it a visually striking and attractive plant. The stems are typically blue-green in color and covered in small spines.
The flowers of Trichocereus bridgesii crested are typically white to creamy-yellow in color and bloom during the warmer months. They are trumpet-shaped and can reach several inches in diameter. The flowers have a lovely fragrance and attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
In terms of care, the Trichocereus bridgesii crested requires similar care to other cacti. It thrives in well-draining soil, such as a cactus mix, and prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It's important to avoid overwatering and allow the soil to dry out between waterings. During the growing season, once a year in the spring, you can fertilize the cactus with a balanced cactus fertilizer diluted to half strength. You can grow them indoors in warm temperatures between 60-80 F and outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.
Additionally, the crested penis cactus, like many cacti, contains alkaloids that can be mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested. It's always advisable to keep it out of the reach of children and pets. If you have any concerns or if accidental ingestion occurs, it's best to seek medical advice.
Overall, the Crested penis cactus ‘Trichocereus bridgesii crested’ is a captivating and unique crested cactus variety that can be a stunning addition to any cactus collection. Its crested growth pattern, beautiful flowers, and relatively easy care make this a popular choice among cactus enthusiasts.
