Description

The listing, One Paper Spine Cactus pad has ended.

This Auction is for one pad taken from my personal collection . This must surely be one of the most intimidating of all plants - the Paper-spined Cholla Tephrocactus articulatus var. papyracanthus. It comes from Argentina and those sabre-shaped spines that look so lethal are about eight centimetres long, but they're not as dangerous as they look. They really are like paper and simply bend under the slightest pressure; you'd be hard-put to draw blood with them. lol.

beautiful, how often does this bloom, how old does it have to be to bloom and how much is shipping?

Because they are relatives they pretty much have the same blooming habits. I had to wait until the second year before mine bloomed. I get 2 different bloom sessions on mine each lasting a couple months. It has a lot to do with how much sun they get.
