Country of Origin: Mexico

The Pachycereus Pringlei "Mexican Giant Cardon" or "Elephant Cactus" is a large cactus with many ribs all around it. It grows clumps of spikes all along its many ribs that are yellow in color while the cactus column is a brilliant green. It slowly produces offsprings at its base which can later be separated for propagation. Pots sold separately.

Care Instructions:
Light Preference:  Enjoys full sun.
Water Tolerance: Water once a week (preferably on schedule). Allow the soil to be dry between waterings.   Do not overwater as too much moisture will lead to root rot. 

Soil:  Enjoys gritty succulent potting soil. Feed during the growing season (winter to spring) by adding new soil. If you grow them in containers, repot them with fresh potting soil every 2 -3 years.
