Organ pipe cactus, also known as Pitahaya, Cardón, Pipe Organ Cactus
Organ pipe cactus is a desert native, adapted to thrive in arid environments. It requires full sun exposure and well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Watering should be done sparingly; allowing the soil to dry out completely between watering sessions is crucial. Over-watering is a common misstep, so it's particularly important to err on the side of under-watering. While organ pipe cactus can tolerate high temperatures, it is sensitive to frost, so protection from cold weather is imperative.
