Cereus forbesii 'Spiralis'

The Cereus forbesii 'Spiralis', or Spiral Cactus, is a living sculpture that instantly elevates the look of your home. You will want this striking succulent indoors because its unique, twisting blue-green stems naturally draw the eye, bringing a dramatic touch of the desert right into your living room. While it can grow to towering heights in its native habitat, a potted indoor Spiral Cactus typically reaches a perfectly manageable 2 to 4 feet tall. It is the ultimate low-maintenance statement piece for the everyday gardener who wants maximum visual impact without spending hours fussing over a complicated care routine.

To keep those beautiful spirals tightly formed, you need to replicate the desert sun. Place your cactus in the brightest spot you have—ideally a south- or west-facing window—so it receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. If the indoor light is too dim, the new growth will stretch out and lose its signature twist. For households with animals, you will be happy to know this cactus is chemically non-toxic and safe to grow around pets. However, the exterior spines are genuinely sharp, so it is wise to elevate the pot on a sturdy plant stand to protect curious dogs and cats from an accidental prick. Let the soil dry completely down to the bottom of the pot between thorough waterings, and this twisting beauty will thrive alongside you for years.
