Trichocereus Bridgesii Monstrose, aka Penis Cactus, for its curious shape. Trichocereus bridgesii originated in South Africa, Monstrose is a mutation nursery variety with a green short stem. The upper part is spineless and smooth. Pointy spines are concentrated at the bottom. The Spines grow in groups of 4 or fewer than that with brown color, and they can grow up to 1.5-2.5 inches.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
