This is a great Brazilian cactus that is hardier than I thought. I live in zone 8 Hesperia, CA 92345 where winter temperatures reach 25 degrees annually. I have two plants one in the ground & the other in a pot. the in ground specimen has been living in its location for & years, it is protected (by a old sheet & a cardboard box) when temperatures drop below 20 degrees F.

Have had this in the xeriscape and it has tripled it's size in two years. Needs to be placed with other plants to protect it from the full sun here in zone 8a low desert area. Does great in partial shade. They look fantastic when they get some growth/size to them.

A beautifull native of Brazil. Large blossoms stand near the top and appear during the summer. They like a warm bright location, not in full sun, water during the summer, they need good drainage. During winter's rest period they should be dry and cool.
