{"product_id":"spiral-cactus","title":"Spiral Cactus","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Spiral Cactus, scientifically known as Cereus forbesii 'Spiralis', is a captivating columnar specimen originating from South America. This natural mutation of the standard Cereus forbesii develops a distinctive corkscrew twist as it matures, creating an eye-catching sculptural form. With blue-green, ribbed stems adorned with short spines, it's a true showstopper for any collection.\n\nA vigorous grower, the Spiral Cactus can reach impressive heights of 6 to 16.5 feet and produces stunning summer blooms in shades of white, pink, or red—some reaching up to 8 inches long. Over time, it may branch into a candelabra-like silhouette, adding architectural interest to indoor or outdoor spaces.\n\nTo thrive, provide intense light—at least six hours of direct sun outdoors or a bright south- or west-facing window indoors. Maintain warm temperatures between 60–90°F, protecting from frost with a minimum winter threshold of 50°F. Water generously during spring and summer, allowing soil to dry between waterings; reduce frequency in cooler months. Use well-draining cactus or succulent soil amended with perlite, coarse sand, pumice, or lava rock. Light fertilization during the growing season encourages robust growth and prolific flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paridon Horticultural Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"3.25\" \/ Annual Greenhouse","offer_id":51441142923554,"sku":"71778","price":49.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/5294\/8770\/files\/1000005124.jpg?v=1774463489","url":"https:\/\/greenthumbgardencentre.com\/products\/spiral-cactus","provider":"Green Thumb Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
