The Bishop's Cap Cactus is a funky looking little cactus and is a prized collector's plant. Adored for its interesting growth habit that looks very akin to a Bishop’s Cap, hence the name. Silvery in colour with distinct patterning and ribbing makes this plant a true statement piece for any plant enthusiast looking to add a little spark to their collection.
Caring for your Bishop's Cap Cactus is pretty easy too, as it thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and requires very little watering. Its desert origins make it relatively drought-tolerant, perfect for those who forget to water regularly. Ensure well-draining soil to prevent root rot, and watch it flourish with occasional fertilisation during their growing season.
Styling your Bishop's Cap Cactus is a delight. Its unique shape adds visual interest to any space, whether displayed solo in a minimalist pot or clustered with other succulents and Cacti plants for a striking desert oasis vibe. Place it on a sunny window sill indoors or as a focal point on your patio to keep it happy and healthy.
Please note: This Cactus is not considered toxic, though best kept out of reach to keep it looking its best.
