Native to Brazil, this cactus can reach impressive heights, becoming a standout feature in your home or garden.

Care Guide:
- Light: Thrives in bright, direct sunlight. Ideal for a south-facing windowsill or a sunny spot outdoors in warmer months.
- Water: Water sparingly; allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Reduce watering further during winter.
- Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures, ideally above 15°C. It can tolerate cooler nights but is not frost-hardy.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix to prevent root rot.

Fun Facts:
- The Cereus jamacaru Spiralis is often mistaken for a “cactus sculpture” due to its striking spiral shape, which is a natural growth habit rather than man-made.
- In the wild, it can grow up to 10 metres, although it stays more compact when potted indoors.
