With its long, pointed leaves emerging from cylindrical stems, Austrocylindropuntia subulata is an unusual cactus that adds height, texture, and intrigue to any collection. Though it’s closely related to the classic prickly pear, this species has a much more upright, branching growth habit and narrow, leaf-like projections that give it a prehistoric feel. Fast-growing and architectural, it thrives in warm, sunny spots.

Scientific Name
Austrocylindropuntia subulata (subulata = awl-shaped, referring to the slender, pointed leaves)

Synonyms
Previously listed as Opuntia subulata – still used in cultivation

Common Name
Eve’s Needle Cactus

Origin
Native to the Andes of Peru and Ecuador, especially in arid montane regions

Light
Requires full sun or very bright light for best growth. A south-facing windowsill or sunroom is ideal. Rotate regularly to maintain an upright shape.

Water
Allow soil to fully dry out between waterings. In spring and summer, water thoroughly every 2–3 weeks. In winter, reduce to once a month or less. Avoid watering into the centre of the plant.

Humidity
Prefers dry air. Avoid humid environments and rooms with poor airflow.

Soil
Use a coarse cactus mix with added grit, perlite, or sand to aid drainage. Ensure pots have drainage holes.

Food
Feed every 4–6 weeks in the growing season with a balanced cactus fertiliser. No feeding in winter.

Temperature
Prefers 20–30°C. Tolerates down to 5°C if kept dry, but avoid frost and cold draughts.

Pet-safe
No – toxic if ingested and can cause irritation. Spines can injure pets or children.

Sprouts Top Tips
This cactus grows fast – pot up annually in spring and prune with gloves if needed to keep its shape.

Extras
Can eventually grow into a shrubby, tree-like form up to 2 metres indoors if left unpruned.

Did You Know?
The “leaves” on Austrocylindropuntia subulata are actually modified stems – a rare feature among cacti!

Comfortable accessory
This U-shaped pillow is made with a soft exterior material. The overall shape and flexibility allows for comfort in a number of different positions. I was expecting a pillow that was slightly more firm, however, it suits the intended purpose. The cover is removable and machine washable.

Functional and comfortable
Not bad. Not the best quality out there but definitely supportive enough and reasonably priced. There are thin areas at the corners of the pillow that maybe you could fluff out. It does the job!

SUPA MODERN Pregnancy Pillow (U-Shaped Full Body Maternity Pillow, Grey)
SUPA MODERN Pregnancy Pillow (U-Shaped Full Body Maternity Pillow, Grey) Pregnancy Pillow = Sleep Upgrade (So Supportive!) “Feels like being hugged all night back and hip support is AMAZING.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) This U-shaped pregnancy pillow is super comfortable and gives full-body support (back, belly, legs, and hips). It really helps with side sleeping and takes pressure off the lower back so you don’t wake up tossing and turning. The velvet cover feels soft and cozy, and I love that it’s removable for easy cleaning. Great for pregnancy AND honestly even for anyone with back/hip pain. Perfect thickness for support. Great value for your money. ✅ Pros: Full-body support, very comfy, removable soft cover, helps side sleepers ⚠️ Note: It’s big (as expected), so it takes up space on the bed—but totally worth it

fantastic value, ridiculous comfort
This U-shaped full-body pillow does take a minute to fluff up after unboxing—kind of like it’s waking from a long nap—but trust me, the wait is worth it. Once fully awake, it’s soft, breathable, and flexible enough to wrap around you like a clingy sloth that actually improves your sleep. The removable velvet cover is so comfy you’ll consider replacing your wardrobe with it, and yes—it’s washable, because life happens. There’s no weird factory smell, which is always a bonus when you’re about to cuddle something the size of a small adult. You can use this pillow everywhere: on the bed, couch, floor, or even in the car (preferably not while driving). It excels at supporting your back, belly, hips, and legs, whether you’re pregnant, tired, or just chronically committed to comfort. Perfect for marathon sleep sessions or those “I’ll just close my eyes for five minutes” naps that last three hours. Quite possibly the best cuddle partner that doesn’t talk back.

Body pillow
They air sealed it. But It came with a lot of empty space through the entire body pillow, Now I have to find stuffing just to make it work.
