Yellow Fellow Monstrose Variegated Cereus Cactus
Packet of 1x well established plant sent bare rooted!
This plant is a fancy new variety available nowhere else.
Me and the Mrs have christened it “Yellow Fellow” and the parents are two of my largest fruiting apple cactus. Unlike nearly all of it’s 100’s of brothers and sisters this unique freak has both monstrose lumpy growth, and a bright yellow skin. Unlike all of them and most other highly variegated yellow Cereus cactus too, this one grows fine and seems to have no problems photosynthesizing at all!
This means it doesn’t need to be grafted onto another rootstock to survive, and doesn’t have the disease dramas often associated with more common variegated cactus either.
It has no itchy glochids which are the tiny hairs you find on some other cactus like prickly pear, and though the red spines are sharp tipped, they bend and lay flat meaning if I’m just careful I don’t need to wear gloves handling or repotting these guys either.
I reckon its a beauty and I see a very long future for this fella as a dainty little ornamental, and with any luck in a couple years time we will all be able to asses the quality of fruit it produces too!
On arrival plant it into a nice dry sandy well draining soil mix, place it in a sheltered position and don’t water for a couple weeks. After that you can gradually acclimatize it to full sun and give it a water here and there as needed.
Grown by me and the Mrs organically, no chems, no nasties, no problems!
