    Succulent Boobie Cactus

    Botanical Name: Myrtillocactus geometrizans

    Common Name(s): Boob Cactus, Breast Cactus, Titty Cactus

    The Boobie Cactus is a quirky and fun succulent that is celebrated for its unique appearance. This cactus is easily recognizable due to its round, fleshy body covered in small, soft spines and a series of pronounced, round, nipple-like protrusions that give it its humorous and somewhat cheeky name. Native to Mexico, this succulent thrives in arid, dry environments and is a popular addition to cactus collections or novelty plant displays due to its playful and distinctive shape.

    Typically growing in a compact, globular form, the Boobie Cactus reaches a height of about 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) and spreads about 3–5 inches (8–12 cm) in diameter. The body is covered with tiny white spines that give it a woolly texture, with the “nipple” features made up of clusters of shorter, softer spines. The overall look of the plant is both cute and quirky, making it a conversation starter in any plant collection.

    In late spring or early summer, the Boobie Cactus produces small, funnel-shaped flowers in vibrant shades of pink, yellow, or white, typically located near the crown of the cactus. These delicate blooms add a splash of color and beauty to the plant, though the plant is mostly appreciated for its fun, bold appearance rather than its flowers. The Boobie Cactus is also known to produce small, red or orange fruits, although this is more common in outdoor conditions.

    The Boobie Cactus is a perfect plant for beginners or anyone looking for a low-maintenance succulent. It thrives in bright sunlight and prefers well-draining, sandy soil that mimics its native desert environment. Like most cacti, it’s adapted to dry conditions and can tolerate long periods without water. It is important to water it only when the soil is completely dry to the touch, as overwatering can lead to root rot. The plant thrives in average room temperatures and can tolerate heat, making it an excellent choice for windowsills or sunny spots in the home.

    Note: While the Boobie Cactus is non-toxic to pets, its spines can cause irritation if touched. Always keep this cactus out of reach of children or pets who might be curious about its unusual and attractive appearance.

    Care Insights & Expert Tips

    Sunlight

    Bright, indirect light: This plant prefers plenty of light, and in most cases the full direct sun to grow and maintain its fresh vegetation. 

    Water

    Water once every 2-3 weeks: Water every 2-3 weeks or when the soil is very dry to the touch. The Boobie Cactus can store water in its leaves for extended periods of time. 

    Temperature

    Warm temperatures: This plant prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) in the growing months with low humidity and dry air. Air circulation is essential.

      1. Dry Sandy Soil/Succulent Mix: For this cactus, a well-draining sandy soil or succulent soil mix is preferred as these soil mimics a dry desert environment. 
      2. Fertilize sparingly: During the growing season, fertilize sparingly using a diluted cactus fertilizer. Avoid fertilization during the winter.
      3. Repot every 2-3 years: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes too large for its container.
      4. Handle with Care: This cactus is covered in soft spines that may cause injuries. Use gloves when handling them if you are a beginner.
      5. Propagates easily: This cactus can be easily propagated by cutting off stem pads (cladodes) and allowing it to dry and callus for a few days before planting it in well-draining soil.

      If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

      Items apart of the same order typically ship together.

For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

      Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?
