The blue flame cactus is a fast grower for a cactus and produces numerous arms at a relatively small size. All of our plants will come to you with a minimum of one arm already.

Tolerant of light frost and temperatures that do not get lower than the upper twenties at night.
Columnar Cacti design and application suggestions:
Columnar cacti are impactful and dramatic. Frame an entryway, put one in an office corner that is just screaming for something interesting or if you are lucky to live in a suitable outdoor environment, install a few columnar cacti in the landscape for dramatic effect. Our columnar cacti are equally happy in a decorative pot or planted in the ground.
Our columnar cacti offer you different colors and growth forms. The totem pole and curiosity cacti have very interesting growth habits. The Mexican fence post, peruvian apple, organ pipe, saguaro and senita offer elegance and presence. The curiosity cacti, silver and golden torch offer splashes of color to integrate with your space.
Why purchase our Columnar Cacti?
