Are you looking for something unique that will make your neighbors envious? Introducing the silver torch cactus, also known as Cleistocactus strausii, a vibrant member of the Cleistocactus genus. The name is derived from the Greek word "kleistos," which means "closed," referring to the fact that the plant's red or burgundy tubular flowers rarely open. 

With its wooly white appearance, thanks to its fine needles and bristles covering its stem, it's like having a fluffy cloud in your home! And the best part? It's super easy to care for! 

This stunning columnar cactus is sure to stand out in any garden with a width of about 6 feet and has long, thin cylindrical stems that can extend up to 10 feet, adding a touch of exotic beauty to your outdoor oasis. 

But what's even better than its striking appearance? This is an incredibly low-maintenance plant hailing from high mountain regions in Bolivia and Argentina. You can easily propagate silver torch cactus by stem cuttings, requiring very little attention from you. Whether you're an experienced gardener or just starting out, this plant is perfect for anyone who wants a gorgeous addition to their collection without all the fuss. 

Watering Needs 

Despite being a drought-tolerant plant, silver torch cacti prefer moderate watering during the growing season in the spring and summer months. To encourage healthy root development, water the plant deeply but sparingly. 

When these desert cacti go dormant in the winter, water it less, soaking it completely, then letting the soil completely dry out.   In spite of the right watering frequency, cactus roots can be damaged if the soil is not fast draining.   

Light Requirements 

The silver torch cactus thrives in direct sunlight. Even though it can handle some partial shade, it won't bloom as well in this environment. They will only bloom if they are exposed to 5-6 hours of direct sunlight. In order to prevent the plant from receiving too much direct sunlight, it is best to offer some afternoon shade if your area regularly experiences harsh sunlight. 

When cacti don't get enough light, their stems tend to be thinner than they should, and they usually grow thinner and have a pointed instead of rounded tip. The stem may also be paler, shorter, or even lack spines, or its spines may be more widely spaced. To avoid these problems, make sure your silver torch cactus gets plenty of light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

These wooly torch cacti favor very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use Go to soil-cactus-mix-blend-1-gal-4-qt-cacti-succulent-dirt-compost-growing-media that contains over mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your cactus to thrive. 

Ideally, you should look for a fertilizer with an approximate blend of 5-10-15 that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen. The best choice is to use an organic fertilizer as they last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The silver torch cactus requires sunny, warm climates to thrive in its natural habitat, but some species are tolerant of cold temperatures. Generally, these are hardy plants that can be grown in the garden in USDA zone 9 - 10. It thrives in moderate room temperatures during its active growth phase.

While the cactus is dormant in the winter, temperatures shouldn't rise above 50–59°F. This Cleistocactus strausii cactus will attempt to grow if the temperature is too high, but it won't receive enough light to do so normally, resulting in unusually thin and sluggish new growth.

Additionally, these cultivated plants can endure temperatures as low as 20 °F. It is therefore best to plant your silver torch cactus plants in a container that you can bring indoors during the winter if you live in a cold climate.

 

Be sure to add Silver Torch Cleistocactus strausii to your home or garden and enjoy its low maintenance care, while admiring its impressive display year after year.

I’m a little disappointed.
Format: Kindle
I usually like Jillian West’s books but this one was missing a lot for me. The pregnancy didn’t come across as real. She’s on her feet for 12 hour days but is perfectly healthy at 8 months pregnant? Yet the week she moves in all of a sudden she’s not? She is planning on actually running during one of the plot buildups. But at 8 months pregnant that’s incredibly hard to do. The lack of breathing ability and lung space, the change in body center, mass, and gravity. All of it prohibits running, unless you’re an athlete this didn’t come off as at all realistic. I didn’t feel any connection with the alphas. There wasn’t any emotional connection. It could be because of the tense it was written in. But I didn’t get any deep feelings out of this. It came across as checking off boxes. Even the spicy scenes weren’t really believable for me. I wanted to see them fall for her, and it just kind of all fizzled. Even Bishop. One thing I did really like was the ending. I did not see it coming and I’m interested in reading book two because of it. But on the whole this book was mostly disappointing for me.

Vale is an 8 month pregnant omega working as a waitress at a strip club and a cam girl. She starts to get very creepy vibes from a regular at the club, and her baby daddy ghosted her. She has had an online relationship with a man named Bishop through her cam girl status. One night, bishop was paying to watch her sleep and ansthe creepy regular Andrew break in and watch her sleep he tells vale to come to him at his business now. She flees and finds herself at a large security company with some.hot of alphas who are there to help her. This imegaverse is a little different than I have read, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Vale is not a traditional omega she was raised by a single beta mom, and the alphas are not normal alphas they have never really loved pack life. But they are ruthless mercenaries. They need her, and she needs them. I love the aspect of the stalker and now the plot twists at the end, so so good. Sometimes, it seemed a little slow and stale mated, but since this a duet, I think It was just her starting to have Vale get to know her alpha suitors. Cliffhanger for sure with this one.

That ending 😫
Format: Kindle
I fell into a false sense of security and really thought this was gearing towards a happy ending. Then I realized there’s no work they don’t punish Andrew. I really liked Vale’s character. I don’t normally read books with pregnancy but going into this knowing she was pregnant made it more enjoyable for me. I loved Bishops devotion to her and her happiness. I also loved that Holt and Mercy couldn’t fight their attraction to her. I love scent matches so very much. I’m so curious to see how this duet will end up. And I need to pay more attention and notice that a book I’m starting is a duet to begin with lol

I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!
