Trichocereus bridgesii ‘Penis Cactus’

The Trichocereus bridgesii ‘Monstrose’, commonly known as the ‘Penis Cactus’, is an unusual and intriguing variety of cactus that is noted for its unique growth pattern and shape. This specific monstrose form of Trichocereus bridgesii is characterized by its elongated, cylindrical stems, which often grow in a curiously irregular and meandering fashion, giving rise to its colloquial name.

The ‘Penis Cactus’ typically exhibits a deep green hue, and its surface is dotted with areoles from which spines may emerge. The spines are usually short and can range in color from yellow to brown. The cactus has a smooth, almost glossy appearance and lacks the prominent ribbing commonly seen in other cactus species.
