Notocactus scopa inermis ‘Crest’ (Grafted)

Like a desert brainwave in slow motion, Notocactus scopa inermis ‘Crest’ grows in undulating waves and folds — a mutation that turns a spiny column cactus into a crested crown of botanical weirdness. This grafted version adds extra support and stability, helping it thrive while it shows off.

Its golden fuzz, sculptural curves, and unique form make it a collector’s favorite and a total conversation starter. Best kept in bright light with infrequent water — this is a slow, showy beauty that asks for little and gives a lot.
