The Neobuxbaumia polylopha cristaat is a beautiful growth form of the Neobuxbaumia polylopha. The cristate growth of this cactus means that the cactus grows in a beautiful comb shape instead of the standard column shape. This gives you beautiful green-gray combs with light-colored spines at the top. This comb forms a unique pattern for each cactus. So no two are exactly the same.

The Neobuxbaumia polylopha is a beautiful column cactus. This cactus occurs naturally in a small area in Mexico. Here this cactus grows on steep ravine slopes at altitudes of 800 to 1300 meters.

The Neobuxbaumia polylopha has a beautiful fresh green color and has many ribs. Many thin yellow spines grow on the top of her ribs. The new spines on top of the cactus have a dark yellow to orange color. The Neobuxbaumia polylopha is a fast growing cactus and can grow 10-20 cm per year if it is happy with you. Giant cactus species of up to 15 meters high have been found in nature.
