Stenocereus stellatus, commonly known as the Organ Pipe Cactus, is a tree-like cactus native to the desert and dry shrubland climates of Mexico. It is part of the Cactaceae family and the Stenocereus genus. This cactus is known for its tall, columnar structure and can grow up to 4 meters in height. It has a dormancy period during the cooler months.
Stenocereus stellatus thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers warm temperatures. It is well-suited to dry conditions and does not require frequent watering. Ensure the plant is kept in a low-humidity environment to mimic its natural desert habitat.
