Pilosocereus Gounellei – Xique-Xique Cactus

Pilosocereus gounellei is a beautiful green columnar, tree-like cactus. New stems fork from its base, which over time create an interesting, spreading candelabra effect. Larger, mature plants become blue-green and produce white, funnel-shaped flowers which bloom at night. Pilocereus means hairy cereus, referring to its many golden spines and was previously called Pilocereus.
