Cuddly Cactus - Cereus Jamacaru

Pot Size - 14cm

Cereus jamacaru ‘Cuddly cactus’ – Soft-Spined Sculptural Cactus 🌵💚

Cereus jamacaru ‘Cuddl’ is a striking columnar cactus that earns its nickname from its softer, finer spines – giving it a more approachable, “cuddly” look compared to traditional cacti. With its upright growth and bold ribbed texture, it makes a perfect architectural accent for bright indoor spaces or dry gardens.

Key Features:

✔ Tall, columnar form with bold vertical ribs
✔ Soft to the touch spines – less prickly than most cacti
✔ Grows steadily with height over time – great as a floor plant or container centrepiece
✔ Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant
✔ Can produce large, white night-blooming flowers in maturity

Care Instructions:

• Light: Requires full sun to bright indirect light – south-facing windows ideal indoors

• Watering: Water only when completely dry – usually every 2–4 weeks in summer, less in winter

• Soil: Use a free-draining cactus/succulent mix

• Humidity: Prefers dry air – avoid high humidity

• Feeding: Feed monthly during the growing season with a cactus fertiliser

• Temperature: Thrives in 18–30°C – protect from frost and freezing

• Growth: Can grow up to 1.5–2m indoors with time and care

🌿 Tip: Rotate occasionally to ensure even vertical growth, and repot only when rootbound.
