Cereus Jamacaru 'Cuddly Cactus'
ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
Cereus Jamacaru 'Cuddly Cactus' is a striking plant, and hard to find a plant in this shape and size that stands out from the cactus crowd. It's a beautiful, chunky cactus, perfect for table tops and shelves. It is commonly called the cuddly cactus because it has no spikes, so it is safe to stroke and handle!
The flower buds usually appear in the middle of spring, and each flower lasts only for a night. They blossom at dusk and wither by the morning, so this cactus is sometimes called a 'night cactus'.
Cereus Jamacaru 'Cuddly Cactus' is very easy to look after and requires little watering - it is used to dry, hot weather, so it’s low maintenance! When you’re thinking about Cereus Jamacaru 'Cuddly Cactus'care, always think about the climate it would live in nature and the sort of weather it would thrive in - and that will give you a good idea of how to look after it, a bright sunny spot is best.
The cuddly cactus is an unusual indoor plant that will provide a strong accent amongst more leafy foliage plants or as a stand-alone feature on its own in a room. Many people feel intimidated by cacti, but they are easy to look after and rewarding because of their sculptural looks.

When developing our original Happy Houseplants’ Vegan Cactus & Succulent Food, we decided not to tinker with it too much, so you'll find no chemical supplements in this 100% cruelty-free vegan product. Our organic original Vegan Cactus & Succulent food is made from Seaweed harvested sustainably.
Seaweed provides a delicate blend of growth hormones and micronutrients that is perfect for all indoor plants. Houseplants grow throughout spring, summer and autumn, so they will benefit from organic fertiliser during this time to encourage flowering and keep them healthy and well.

No, it can be toxic to pets.

We post to most of the UK, but we’re unable to deliver to the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Isle of Wight, the Scilly Isles and the Channel Islands because of higher shipping costs.
When we list a plant’s height, it always includes the grow pot, stem, foliage and living root system — not just what you see above the soil. Because every plant is unique, yours may arrive a little smaller or larger than the size listed.
