The Spiral Cactus, known as Cereus forbesii 'spiralis'is prized for its tall, columnar stems that naturally twist into a mesmerizing spiral pattern. Each stem grows upright, with a ribbed surface and striking blue-green color, adding both texture and elegance.

This fast-growing spiral cactus can grow up to 16 feet tall and about 5 inches wide, creating an impressive vertical presence.

The funnel-shaped flowers of spiral cacti bloom in late spring and early summer. These stunning waxy blooms open up only at night but linger no longer than 24 hours, giving them the nickname “Night-blooming cereus”.You'll be amazed by their dazzling pinkish-white to red-colored petals that will make your heart skip a beat or two.

These majestic night-blooming cereus originated all the way from Brazil back in the day. Around 1980, some brave souls took cuttings from the original cereus cactus and brought them over to Europe. Since then, these extraordinary night-blooming cacti have mesmerized people worldwide through seed breeding, cloning, and large purple fruits. For this reason, these are considered to be expensive cacti. 

When and How to Water Your Spiral Cactus 

The Spiral Cactus is highly drought-tolerant, perfectly adapted to arid climates where rainfall is scarce. Its thick, ribbed stems store moisture efficiently, allowing the plant to endure long dry spells without harm. The spiral cactus prefers watering once every 2-3 weeks in spring and summer, and once every 4-6 weeks in fall and winter.

In spring and summer, during its active growing season, water your Spiral Cactus deeply but infrequently about once every 2–3 weeks. Always ensure that the soil is completely dry before watering again; the top 1–2 inches of soil should feel dry to the touch. Overwatering can easily lead to root rot, as the plant’s roots are sensitive to excess moisture. In hotter months, if you notice the cactus starting to wrinkle or lose firmness, that’s a sign it’s time for a good soak.

In the fall and winter months, the Spiral Cactus enters dormancy, slowing its growth and water usage. During this period, water very sparingly once every 4–6 weeks or even less, depending on your climate. It’s often best to skip watering entirely unless the cactus shows visible signs of dehydration, such as slight shriveling. 

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Spiral Cactus 

When growing indoors, the Spiral Cactus thrives in bright, direct sunlight ideally near a south- or west-facing window where it can receive at least 5–6 hours of direct light daily.

If your home doesn’t receive enough natural sunlight, especially in rooms with north-facing windows. These lights mimic natural sunlight and help maintain healthy growth and vibrant color.

Rotate the pot occasionally so all sides of the cactus receive even exposure and develop its characteristic spiral symmetry.

When grown outdoors, the Spiral Cactus performs best in full sun, where it receives a minimum of 6 hours of direct light per day. However, in extremely hot or desert-like climates, it benefits from light afternoon shade to prevent sun scorch on young or newly planted specimens. Choose a location with good air circulation and well-draining soil to reduce the risk of rot and fungal problems. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The spiral cactus favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well, and should be fertilized (NPK) once a year in spring. 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 our Go to soil cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media that contains over 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your night-blooming cereus cactus to thrive. 

Natural fertilizers with a maximum ratio of 5-10-5 that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen also last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage cereus plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your blooming cereus some love with some awesome organic fertilizer!  

Hardiness Zones & More 

In the United States, the spiral cactus is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 10-11

In these regions, it can be grown outdoors year-round, enjoying temperatures between 65°F and 90°F. While it can briefly tolerate temperatures down to 40°F, exposure to frost or freezing conditions can cause permanent damage to the stems.

If you live in cooler regions, it’s best to grow the Spiral Cactus in containers so it can be moved indoors during the colder months. Ensure that the cactus is kept in a dry, sheltered spot when nighttime temperatures drop below 50°F. 

How to Grow Best Spiral Cacti Indoors

The Cereus forbesii 'spiralis' thrives indoors in temperatures between 65 and 85°F and humidity levels around 40-50%. To ensure optimal growth, place the cactus in a location with bright, indirect sunlight and water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

Wildlife – Spiral Cactus Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The spiral cactus is known to attract a variety of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds due to its bright flowers and sweet nectar. These pollinators play a crucial role in the ecosystem by aiding in the reproduction of plants and ensuring biodiversity.

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds
Lady Bugs
Multi Pollinators
Other Birds

According to ASPCA, the Cereus forbesii is not toxic to humans and animals. Because spines are sharp, it is best to keep them out of the reach of pets and young children. But don't be intimidated by its bold appearance - this night-blooming cactus is easy to care for and can thrive in a variety of environments.

How to Propagate Your Spiral Cactus

To propagate your spiral cactus, you can use stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem from the cactus and allow it to callous over for a few days before planting it in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots develop, and then gradually increase watering as the plant establishes itself.

The Bottom Line

Overall, the Spiral Cactus (Cereus forbesii ‘Spiralis’) is a truly captivating plant that combines sculptural beauty with remarkable resilience. Its twisting, spiral-shaped stems make it a striking focal point in any garden or indoor collection, while its low-water needs and heat tolerance make it perfect for drought-prone regions. Whether grown in a pot or directly in the ground, this cactus thrives with minimal care, just plenty of sunlight, well-draining soil, and infrequent watering.

Not as complicated to put together as it seems, and quite sturdy
Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Triple
When I first unpacked this stand, I was initially overwhelmed by the number of parts that were included in the package. I didn’t realize there were extra parts included to offer you two choices for how to mount the stand to your workstation. Once I got that sorted out, I relaxed a bit more and was able to assemble the unit single-handedly and mount two 22” monitors and a laptop to give myself more room on my desk. It was a bit challenging to move the arms to just the right angles and height, but I did get it after a few tries. I used the re-positionable clamp instead of the desk- through grommet mount. It feels very sturdy, and I feel as long as I periodically check the tension and tightness of the bolts, it will hold up everything just fine. I am not thrilled with the cable management clamps that attach to the round center pole, so I’ll probably end up looking for different clamps or even just velcro fasteners to loop around the post. The clamps that snap onto the arms themselves are fine and hold the Displayport and power cords in place well. I thought about dinging this unit a star for the weird center post clamps and also because the black coating on part of the round post is flaking off, but really, I can work with those things/cover up the cosmetic issues. I was super-impressed by the way the hardware was included in labeled, individual plastic compartments. The instructions were pretty good, too, although I would have liked the print to be a little larger - once you hit your forties, you reach for readers or have to get up close and squint to see small print… Overall, I’m pleased with this unit.

Game changer
Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Dual, Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Dual
**update 2026** Okay I've just upgraded this mount so let me update my review. I am keeping 5 stars because for an entry level budget mount it did its job. Here's why I changed: if your desk is not solid wood, the base of the mount is too narrow and will start to sink in. Also, after a few years one of the arm started to sag. I upgraded for a mount double this price so not outrageous but the base is wider and the arms are sturdier. I am still happy I purchased that one because for my budget it did the job so these years and it's better than not having it. Still recommend if your budget is low and you need to save desk space, it's a great starter. If you can wait and save twice this, I suggest you do and skip to the better ones though. **original review 2020** Been using this mount for about 3 months, time to review: It is an absolute game changer! Cheap, easy to assemble and install, feels sturdy. At first my wife was skeptical because she thought it would be a gimmick but it frees up so much space, it brings both monitors to the same eye-level height, the mouse cable never gets stuck under the laptop anymore, and it holds the cables in place so that when she has to run with the laptop they don't fall behind the desk anymore (see picture). All these little details improved her productivity. And just visually it looks much better I think. Laptop: 15" Monitor: 24"

Works fine overall, but... "you get what you pay for"
Size: Width 16.5", Fully Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Single
Filed under: "you get what you pay for"? I like the price point and FOR THE MOST PART this arm is getting the job done in my home office space *but* a few points... (1) The little "claw" to hold the laptop in place has these little "locks" that are on the under side which... that's OK but they can be hard to see and it just seems like an extra part that can break -- vs. a ratcheting clamp. (2) The tension on every movable part was ALL out of whack when I first installed it. I set the laptop onto the cradle and it basically collapsed -- flipping down as far as it would go. I had to adjust the tension to be significantly higher in order to hold steady -- but NOW it's hard to "fine-tune" because the tension on that joint is so stiff. On the other hand, the main "elbow" joint is easy to adjust *and* holds steady all day, but within seconds of taking my laptop off of the arm, it springs up -- sometimes rather violently. (3) The overall build quality seems a little weak. The main screw to hold the laptop stand in place had a little cap to make it easier to twist it by hand -- but this snapped off during the initial installation. Not a deal-breaker because once it was in place, I didn't expect to move it again BUT it was still disappointing. (4) Not a deal-breaker for me BUT... there's practically no included cable management. Just... be aware of that. Otherwise... instructions were pretty clear vis-à-vis how to install and -- like I said -- it seems to be getting the job done w/r/t/ getting the laptop up off the desk and MOSTLY aligned with my other monitors.

Superb quality. Couldn't be happier.
Size: Width 14", Adjustable Desk Mount, Style: Dual
I have been looking for a separate monitor and laptop stand for a while now and recently came across this set up from WALI. For under $50, I was a little nervous about the quality before it arrived. I had no reason to be concerned. It is a SOLID set up. Everything is high-quality metal construction and secure when assembled. Set up took some doing but only because I am not the most, um, detailed direction follower...Make sure you tighten the tray and post screws TIGHTLY initially to prevent any kind of movement after you've assembled it (don't ask me how I know). I have a 15'' Asus laptop and the lip on the tray holds it fine as long as I don't tip it too far forward. But it's an unusually thick laptop body so I imagine most won't have an issue. Again, it's not a problem for me at all, just limits slightly the angle I can tilt the tray. If you are ok with the configuration shown in the primary product image (i.e., monitor above tray) then it will be no problem as is. My desk isn't that deep so I had wanted them to be side-by-side. I was able to set it up that way out of the box. But my monitor was just a hair too big and it cast a shadow on the laptop monitor in the side by side configuration. Support was kind enough to send me a second base post and screws so I could use the grommet and clamp bases at the same time (as is you can only use one or the other). This of course only works if you already have a hole in the desk (or are willing to put one in yourself). Many thanks to WALI's support crew for accommodating me. I use a standing desk. If movement while you type is something you're fussy about (I'm not) note there will be some shake, especially in the standing position. But for most, it should be absolutely no problem. Overall a fantastic deal. Highly recommend it!

A Powerhouse USB Hub That Handles Everything I Throw at It
Color: Gray
I’ve been using this 17‑Port 96W Powered USB 3.2 Hub for a few weeks now, and it has completely streamlined my workspace. With 10 USB‑A 3.2 ports, 2 USB‑C 3.2 ports, 3 QC 24W fast‑charging ports, and an SD/TF card reader, this hub truly replaces multiple adapters and dongles. The 10Gbps transfer speeds are legit — large files from my SSDs move quickly and consistently without random disconnects. The 96W power supply is a huge plus. Even with multiple external drives, peripherals, and a webcam connected, everything stays stable. No flickering, no dropouts, no “device not recognized” issues. The individual power switches are surprisingly useful too — I can turn off specific drives without unplugging anything. The build quality feels solid and premium. It doesn’t slide around, and it stays cool even under heavy load. The SD/TF card reader is fast and convenient for photo/video work. The QC fast‑charging ports are also great for topping up my phone or accessories, though they’re charging‑only (no data), which is clearly stated. If you’re someone who uses multiple devices — external HDDs, flash drives, cameras, microphones, card readers, etc. — this hub is a game changer. It’s perfect for PC setups, content creators, IT workstations, and anyone who needs serious connectivity. Overall, this is one of the most capable, stable, and well‑designed USB hubs I’ve used. Absolutely worth it.
