Melocactus Azureus is a rare and striking barrel shape cactus that rarely is found outside of collectors. It’s also commonly known as ‘Turk's cap cactus’ and is native to areas of Brazil. The most impressive feature is the Cephalium that grows out the top as it matures and it’s amazing blue colour. It produces beautiful pink flowers when in bloom however this doesn’t occur however until the plant does develop the Cephalium.
Like most cacti, melocactus azureus thrives in bright, indirect light. It’s best to water moderately during the growing season and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Using a well-draining soil mix specifically formulated for succulents or cacti will help the plant dry out quick enough to prevent any rotting.
Each living plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, colour, or shape depending on the season. Flowering plants are sent when available.
