Description

succulent plant that looks like a brain Stenocactus multicostatus – Brain CactusDescription Light Soil Water Hardiness Commonly known as the Brain Cactus or Wave Cactus, this is a small, globular cactus that looks like a living geometric puzzle. It is world famous for its "multicostatus" (many ribbed) structure, featuring dozens of thin, wavy, papery ribs that tightly pack the surface of the plant, mimicking the folds of a brain. Between these folds, small clusters of spines emerge, adding to its rugged, prehistoric aesthetic.

  • Commonly known as the Brain Cactus or Wave Cactus, this is a small, globular cactus that looks like a living geometric puzzle. It is world-famous for its "multicostatus" (many-ribbed) structure, featuring dozens of thin, wavy, papery ribs that tightly pack the surface of the plant, mimicking the folds of a brain. Between these folds, small clusters of spines emerge, adding to its rugged, prehistoric aesthetic.

    This species is native to the high-elevation deserts of Central Mexico (specifically Coahuila, San Luis Potosí, and Zacatecas). Growing in limestone-rich soil among grasses, its wavy ribs are an evolutionary marvel designed to provide shade to the plant's body and allow for rapid expansion during rare rainfalls.

    The blooms of the Brain Cactus are as dramatic as its body. In early spring, large, funnel-shaped flowers emerge from the crown. These flowers are typically white or pale violet with a bold, dark purple or pink stripe running down the center of each petal, creating a striking "starburst" effect against the wavy green ribs.

  • Bright Indirect to Full Sun. High light is necessary to maintain the tight, wavy rib structure and encourage blooming.

    Mineral-Rich Cactus Mix. Prefers a very gritty soil (pumice, lava rock, and coarse sand) with very little organic peat.

    Low. Use the "soak and dry" method. Be careful not to let water sit in the deep folds of the ribs, as this can cause rot.
  • 9 to 11. Protect from frost; if kept dry, it can handle brief dips in temperature.

A true vacation find!
Size: Medium, Color: Light Green
Really nice choice. Got it for my husband and he really liked the style. I loved how it fit on him and the lightness of the fabric. Great for hot, sunny weathered days, or warm nights. A true vacation find. Both comfy and stylish. He would have preferred it be 100% cotton, but I think he didn't really mind after steaming it. He commented on the color too. A beautiful sage green!

Perfect "To Go" Untuck Shirt for all summer events!
Size: XX-Large, Color: White-all White
LOVE LOVE LOVE this shirt! Great quality. The material is soft and just thick enough to not be see-through but cool for our Southern summers or tropical locations. The only thing I would say is depending on your arm to shoulder size, you may want to go up a size. I originally bought an xl for my husband, but it was a little snug at arm hole area, so we exchanged it for a xxl (it is designed so you do not have to tuck it in so the xxl fit and looks great.) I reordered in the blue also. Excellent for weddings, dinner, outings etc.. definitely recommend!

Nice and comfy, light duty and feel great.
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green
What they may lack in "durability" i.e. very light and thin = not going to last all that long, they make up for in fit [yes even for wide shoulders], comfort and style. If you want them to last, suggest a gentle cycle and just take ot easy on them. They are light, thin, and airy. Nice summer shirt.

Nice shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Light Green
The shirt is true to size. I'm 5'10" and 160 lbs. and the medium fits well. It is light and airy, and after light pressing holds its shape well. The little cuff on the sleeve is a nice touch. Be aware that the buttons are hidden (if that's the look you're going for). I can't speak to durability as I have only worn it once. I have several Coofandy shirts and they are all nice garments.
