PLANT:
- Monvillea spegazzinii Cristata also known as "Crested Monvillea" or "Crested Brain Cactus," is a rare and captivating succulent prized for its unique growth form. This cristate variety exhibits a fan-shaped crest with undulating and contorted stems, creating a sculptural and eye-catching appearance. Native to Argentina, Monvillea spegazzinii is known for its cylindrical stems and showy, pink flowers that bloom in the summer months. The cristate form adds an extra level of interest to this already captivating cactus.
- Water Needs: Low; water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to rotting of the sensitive crest.
