Cahuilla ribshifts on every column, grows nuttsacks n vegestial growth, stacks, can grow up to 24" circumference - regularly gets 4-5" new growth !!
This one gets weird ! It holds a "checkerboard" glaucous pattern and it's new spines are red. Under pressure or damage cahuilla will grow sharp strong red spines that keep their color in the shade & fade white in full sun. Under happy relaxed conditions cahuilla will barely grow any spines at all! This cultivar can get incredibly notchy indoors under artificial lights!! Colors range depending on where it's grown from yellow - to blue and it has produced multiple variegated pieces!
Cahuilla has a very fragrant and perfume scented flower, with a strong thick straight petal, extra long stigmas, and buds covered in thick curly black hair that does not fade in the sun !!
Cahuilla roots in any orientation, is not prone to humidity spots or rot, and grafts well both as a stock and as a scion !
