Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Ha ha, this plant never stops being funny. We get a good chuckle showing people this one! The monstrose form of trichocereus bridgesii (Bolivian Torch Cactus) is known as the penis plant or penis cactus for good reason. Great as a joke, always fun to grow. Very easy. Likes regular water for most full look...no floppy plants allowed. 4" pot size. Shipped bare root.
Light Shade. Outdoor/ Indoor. Usually none.
