Odile’s Blue Cactus
Pilosocereus odilensis · Native to Brazil (Bahia)
A spectacularly blue columnar cactus from the Brazilian Caatinga — one of the most vivid blue-bodied cacti in existence, topped with white woolly areoles that add to its dramatic look.
Available in 4½ inch
Care
Light
Full, direct sun. The vivid blue coloration is a waxy coating that needs sun to stay vibrant.
Water
Deep, infrequent watering. Allow to dry fully. Very little in winter.
Soil & Feeding
Fast-draining cactus mix. Light feeding in the growing season.
Quick Tip
Avoid wetting the body directly — the blue waxy coating protects the plant and is easily disturbed.
