Myrtillocactus Geometrizans Cristata
Myrtillocactus geometrizans ‘Cristata’ – Rare Collector’s Cactus from Organic Cultivation
Myrtillocactus geometrizans in its rare crested form ('Cristata') is an extraordinary collector’s plant and true natural sculpture. Grown from a mature head cutting from the TOMs FLOWer CLUB succulent collection, this cactus forms stunning fan-shaped growth patterns – each one entirely unique.
Organically cultivated with the philosophy “quality before quantity,” this plant has never been overfertilised. It’s top healthy, robust, and potted in a well-drained, self-mixed organic substrate. Perfectly suited for a very sunny location – outdoors between March and October, or year-round in a bright conservatory or indoor spot with strong light. Avoid waterlogging at all costs.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Crests are exceptions; the crested plant is a healthy plant, but one that develops in an abnormal way. Cresting is therefore a spontaneous mutation, an abnormality of the vegetative apex which, instead of growing conical or cylindrical, flattens out and the plant takes on the appearance of a crest or fan with many curves, reminiscent of the shape of a brain. In fact, crests can be found in many different species of succulent plants. The crested succulents become true sculptures.
