Cacti are attractive houseplants and low maintenance. In addition, cacti also have a variety of colors and shapes as well as sizes that can be adjusted to your needs.
Keeping a large cactus indoors will give the room style, character and character.
Since cacti are usually slow growing, you may want to purchase a fully grown plant instead of growing it from seed.
But, are you still confused about which type of giant cactus to choose? Launching from The Spurce on Saturday, here are 7 types of giant cacti that are suitable for planting indoors.
Blue Myrtle Cactus (Myrtillocactus geometrizans)
The blue myrtle cactus (Myrtillocactus geometrizans) is a columnar cactus that grows fast and grows to tree-like height as it ages. This plant can grow up to 16 feet tall.
When grown indoors, make sure the blue myrtle cactus is planted in well-drained sandy soil and receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.
Saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea)
The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea) is a columnar cactus and is one of the Sonoran desert plants.
They grow very slowly but can grow to 40-60 feet in nature. They work well as houseplants, however, to grow a cactus large enough, you may need to purchase a fully grown plant.
Mexican Fence Cactus (Pachycereus marginatus)
The Mexican fence post cactus (Pachycereus marginatus) is a stunning blue-green columnar cactus that can grow to 20 feet at maturity.
Fortunately, this species of cactus grows relatively quickly, so you may want to start with a smaller plant and wait for it to grow to a suitable size if you prefer.
Golden Barrel Cactus (Echinocactus grusonii)
This plant is also known as the 'mother-in-law pillow'. The golden barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii) can reach heights and widths of over three feet as adults.
However, this plant grows very slowly so choosing an adult plant to be a pet can be a solution.
Candelabra cactus (Euphorbia ingens)
While the candelabra cactus (Euphorbia ingens) is technically a succulent and not a cactus, it is one of the most popular indoor cactus-like varieties.
For those who don't have a lot of sunny windows at home, this succulent like cactus might be the best choice for you because it can work well in indirect light conditions.
Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia)
Prickly pear cactus plants (Opuntia) are some of the most popular indoor cactus varieties and are often sold as small three to six-inch plants.
This plant can grow to 12-18 inches. As with most cactus varieties, make sure your prickly pear is placed in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight to keep it happy.
