This adorable cactus is commonly known as the Argentine Toothpick Cactus. It is a tall, cactus species loved for its striking silhouette and bold spines. Its cylindrical, dark green stems are ribbed with prominent vertical ridges and adorned with clusters of long, needle-like spines that can vary in colour from yellowish to brown or grey.
Over time, it can develop multiple branches, creating a tree-like form. While this cactus is typically cultivated as a smaller plant indoors, it has the potential to grow much larger in its natural habitat.
