The Roadkill Cactus is a striking, flattened cactus with a classic silhouette and an unusual paddle-like form. Its textured surface and side-on profile give it a bold, architectural look that works well in bright, modern spaces.
In its natural habitat of Puerto Rico, this spineless cactus can grow into a tall, tree-like plant reaching up to 20 feet. As a houseplant, it stays compact and slow growing while keeping its distinctive shape.
Care
Position in bright light, some direct sun is fine
Water only when the soil is completely dry
Avoid overwatering; this is the quickest way to cause issues
Seasonal note. From November to March, growth slows significantly. During this period, stop watering and keep the plant away from radiators and cold draughts.
What to expect. Each Roadkill Cactus is unique. The plant you receive may vary in shape, number of arms, or show natural scars from older growth or propagation. These are normal and part of the plant’s character, not defect.
