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.
Pilosocereus gounellei – Xique-Xique Cactus Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Bright and beautiful! After allowing it the time to acclimatise to harsher direct rays, ensure your Pilosocereus gets lots of bright sunlight to reach its full glorious potential.
Not all cacti are fans of the desert drought! Try not to let the soil of your Pilosocereus dry out completely between waterings.
Take care when handling your Pilosocereus gounellei. The spines can be sharp enough to pierce some types of glove!
Light
This cactus needs plenty of bright, indirect light, with an occasional dose of sun – but avoid harsh sunlight as this may scorch the plant if it has not been acclimatised.
Watering
Allow the soil of your Xique Xique to begin to dry-out before watering. Do not overwater or allow the soil to completely dry out. Experiment to find the perfect balance for your cactus.
Temperature
Pilosocereus gounellei is happy anywhere between 10-27°C, but happiest in warm conditions. Avoid draughts as these can create undesirable temperature fluctuations.
Humidity
The Xique Xique Cactus thrives in normal household humidity, but may benefit from misting, as it is native to environments with much wetter air.
Feed
Feed once or twice a month during the growing season.
Height & Growth Rate
