Torch Cactus are clumping columnar cacti that typically reach 12 to 24 inches in height and 3 to 5 inches in diameter per stem. The stems are ribbed with short, golden to reddish spines along the ribs. What sets these hybrids apart is their large, vividly colored flowers, which can be red, pink, orange, yellow, or even bi-colored. Flowers are funnel-shaped, often 4 to 6 inches in diameter, and bloom at night or early morning. Their striking beauty and repeat blooming nature make them a favorite in cactus collections.
