The Cleistocactus strausii, commonly called the Silver Torch Cactus, is a columnar cactus native to Bolivia. It features tall, slender stems covered in dense silver-white spines, giving it a frosted appearance. As it matures, it can produce striking tubular red flowers that protrude horizontally from the stems. This cactus thrives in bright sunlight, well-draining soil, and infrequent watering, making it a hardy and eye-catching plant for arid gardens or indoor collections.
