Details

The Variegated Blue Candle Cactus, also known as Myrtillocactus geometrizans f. variegata, is a stunning succulent admired for its unique blue-green stems with cream-colored variegation. Its upright, columnar growth makes it an eye-catching addition to any indoor or outdoor plant collection. This cactus brings a striking architectural element to your space while being exceptionally low-maintenance.

  • Common Names: Variegated Blue Candle Cactus, Variegated Bilberry Cactus
  • Botanical Name: Myrtillocactus geometrizans f. variegata
  • Size: Grows up to 6-12 inches tall indoors; larger when planted outdoors in ideal conditions.

Care Instructions

  • Light: Requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. Can adapt to bright, indirect light but may lose some variegation in lower light conditions.
  • Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, approximately once every 2-3 weeks, depending on light and temperature.
  • Humidity: Thrives in low-humidity environments. Avoid misting or placing in high-humidity areas.
  • Feeding: Fertilize with a cactus-specific fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.
  • Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix to prevent water retention and root rot.
