About Myrtillocactus geometrizans Fukurokuriuzimboku
Coming from central Mexico, Myrtillocactus geometrizans Fukurokuriuzimboku is a cactus of the Cactaceae family appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts. Its most distinctive feature is branched bluish columnar stems, a trait that makes it unmistakable even among advanced collectors.
We grow Myrtillocactus geometrizans Fukurokuriuzimboku at Succulentae, in the heart of the Almería desert, where the dry Mediterranean climate replicates the ideal conditions for the plant to develop its compact form and best coloration. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
