Overview
The Blue Torch Cactus, scientifically known as Pilosocereus Azureus, is a striking succulent known for its tall, columnar shape and blue-green hue. It's a perfect addition to any plant collection and can thrive both indoors and outdoors with proper care. Each plant ships in a 4-inch pot, ready to be displayed in your home or garden.
Light Requirements
- Sunlight: Prefers bright, direct sunlight
- Placement: Ideal locations include south-facing windowsills or any spot with ample sunlight. For outdoor placement, ensure it receives full sun.
Watering
- Frequency: Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
- Method: Use the "soak and dry" method—water thoroughly until it drains out the bottom, then let the soil dry before watering again.
- Winter Care: Reduce watering frequency during the winter months as the plant goes dormant.
Soil
- Type: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. You can improve drainage by adding perlite or sand.
- Pot: Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the bottom, which can lead to root rot.
Temperature and Humidity
- Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 70°F to 90°F (21°C to 32°C).
- Cold Tolerance: Can tolerate temperatures down to 35°F (10°C) but should be protected from frost.
- Humidity: Prefers low humidity. High humidity can lead to fungal issues.
Fertilizing
- Frequency: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble cactus fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Winter Care: Do not fertilize during the winter dormancy period.
Repotting
- Frequency: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its pot.
- Method: Carefully remove the cactus, gently shake off old soil, and replant in a slightly larger pot with fresh cactus mix.
Common Problems
- Overwatering: Can lead to root rot. Ensure the soil dries out completely between waterings.
- Pests: Watch for common pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Sunburn: Too much direct sunlight, especially if the plant is suddenly moved to a brighter spot, can cause sunburn. Introduce it to more light gradually.
Additional Tips
- Propagation: Propagate by cuttings. Allow cut ends to callous over before planting in soil.
- Growth: Can grow up to 10 feet tall. Prune to maintain the desired height and shape.

NOT WATERPROOF OR MACHINE WASHABLE
Color: Blue, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Until today, I would have given this bed 5 stars. When I was looking for a new pet bed, I searched for “waterproof” and “machine washable”. My bad for not verifying those attributes before purchasing as I have learned Amazon search results are not reliable.
Today one of my dogs peed on the floor and dragged his bed over it. When I discovered it, I wasn’t concerned because it is waterproof and machine washable. Uh, no it is not. The cushion was wet and was too big to adequately fit in my washer and I could tell the fabric wouldn’t hold up so I hand washed in the tub. But by this evening it was still pretty wet so I tossed it in the dryer on low - by itself - to get the damp out. Well, when I took it out, the cushion had ripped open.
Meanwhile, I put the cover in the washing machine. It washed okay, but the plastic part that helps the the opening stay open came out and broke. I cannot find a hole to attempt to put it back in.
I am really irritated that it isn’t better made.

Pug Loves His Bed
Color: Blue, Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Blue, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Great bed. I thought it might be too big for our pug but it is just right so he can choose whether he wants to be inside or outside of the little canopy. He didn’t go under for the first couple of months but now he loves going under the canopy especially on cold days.

Squishy and comfy
Very well made bed. Had I known about Amazon Basics brand sooner, I would have gotten two of these earlier. The other bed I purchased was a Snoozer XL and it arrived in a super compact state; the filler was even compressed and is therefore not as squishy and comfy as this Amazon Basics bed. The dog pictured is about 41 lbs, so it's perfect for her size (my other dog is a 70 lb pittie and he also fits on the bed).The 'hood' does detach, whereas the Snoozer one is permanently attached. Having the hood detach for washing the cover was another plus for this bed. The zippers are heavy duty and the 'sheepskin' is soft (I haven't washed the cover yet, so I don't know if it will pill). This bed arrived ready to use out of the box (very basic packaging); the filler was not compressed, so the bed is definitely more fluffy. This is the XL size and it is smaller than the Snoozer XL size but fits the corner of my room better. This is definitely worth the money.

I regret my purchase
Color: Blue, Size: Medium (Pack of 1)
A few things: 1) this bed is much smaller than you think. Even if you measure it the way it’s constructed makes the area under the flap super small.
2) my dogs, burrow under blankets, covers, everything. But they don’t burrow under this. It’s designed to be appealing to humans, but dogs don’t care for it.
3) you probably already read this another reviews, but the flap doesn’t really stay up at all. That wouldn’t be a problem for my dogs, but it may be for yours.
My recommendation – don’t buy this. It’s a gimmick. They make others with larger areas under the flap that are more expensive, but it’s worth the money instead of wasting it on this.
