Cleistocactus Strausii * Silver Wooly Torch * 10 Cactus Seeds * RARE Succulent

Cleistocactus strausii is a perennial cactus of the family Cactaceae. It is native to high mountain regions of Bolivia and Argentina, above 3,000 m (9,843 ft). Its slender, erect, grey-green columns can reach a height of 3 m (10 ft), but are only about 6 cm (2.5 in) across. The columns are formed from around 25 ribs and are densely covered with areoles, supporting four yellow-brown spines up to 4 cm (2 in) long and 20 shorter white radials. The cactus prefers free draining soils, strong sunlight, but not high temperatures - in fact it can withstand hard frosts down to -10°C
