Nature is amazing, isn’t it?
This fuzzy swirly thing is called a “Brain Cactus,” or mammillaria elongata ‘cristata’ .
Fun fact: the cactus’ shape is because of damage to the center growth of a cactus, AKA the apical meristem.
When that happens, the cactus starts to grow in a “wormlike” shape.
How cool is that?
The cactus looks awesome in skull planters or head planters.
It definitely completes the whole vibe of these planters.
Like most cacti and succulents, they don’t require a lot of water and just need some well-draining cactus soil for optimal survival.
