ORIGIN AND CHARACTERISTICS


The Polaskia chichipe is a cactus from Mexico. It can reach 4-5 meters in height due to its branched column shape in an ascending position. These branches are presented in the form of a wave, also ascending, giving it a slender shape.


This cactus has radial ribs and spines, of which 5 to 6 emerge from each areola. Flowering will come in times of heat, giving rise to small flowers, about 2-3 centimeters in striking tones, between yellow and purple.
