Stetsonia coryne - Toothpick Cactus *rare*
Stetsonia coryne or Toothpick is very hard to find in this extra-large size in the UK, A real gem of a cactus famous for its enormous sharp spines, hence the name toothpick cactus. This cactus is large and heavy and unfortunately only suitable for hand delivery in the greater London area.
Originating from the plains and drier regions in parts of South America it requires very little pampering to become established. In fact, more die from too much care and watering than from neglect. Make sure you give your cactus well-draining soil and lots of sunlight. It's a perfect plant for urban living and a really beautiful and striking plant.
