Stenocereus Thurberi( White)

Stenocereus thurberi, commonly known as Organ Pipe Cactus, is a columnar cactus native to the Sonoran Desert in Mexico and southern Arizona. It typically grows up to 16-26 feet (5-8 meters) in height, with multiple tall, ribbed stems resembling organ pipes. This cactus thrives in hot, arid environments with an optimal temperature range of 68°F to 104°F (20°C to 40°C). It is highly heat-tolerant but sensitive to frost, struggling at temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Propagation is primarily done through seeds, though cuttings are also viable, and it prefers well-draining, sandy, or rocky soil. Watering should be infrequent, allowing the soil to dry out completely between sessions, and minimal during the winter months. Fruiting occurs after 15-20 years, following the bloom of large, white, night-blooming flowers in spring to early summer. The cactus produces sweet, edible fruits called pitaya, which are red or purple on the outside with a white pulp. Genetically, Stenocereus thurberi belongs to the Cactaceae family and is well-adapted to store water in its thick, ribbed stems, allowing it to survive extended periods of drought in desert climates.
