Sometimes nicknames do not need explanations. The Booby cactus (Myrtillocactus Geometrizans Fukurokuryuzinboku) is a rare cactus normally only grown by botanical enthusiasts, but is becoming more popular in the retail market. The Booby cactus’ namesake should be obvious by now, and this unique growth pattern is exactly why we could not resist this plant.
Our medium Booby cacti come in 6” pots, and should get at least 4 hours of sun a day. These cacti love the heat, and direct sun is just fine with them. Place your boobies against the window, they’ll love it! In the right environment, this cactus will grow to be anywhere from 1.5 – 2 feet tall. The small stature makes the Booby a perfect funky statement piece for any table, shelf, or desktop!
