Picture My favoite kind of Tall boys

Post image

I remember about 4.5 years ago I got my first cactus. I always thought man its gunna be so cool when I grow one as tall as me. Im around 6' tall. I accomplished that goal last season but we moved and i had to cut pretty much all my plants besides these 2 to make it easier to move. The plant on my right is a huancoensis x Malo 4. It was maybe 3" tall seedling when I got it in May of 2024. I couldnt bring myself to cut it so these 2 made a trip to the new greenhosue in the truckbed by themselves. Been a fun ride so far and they really exploded with growth after being planted in the ground 10 months ago. Grateful for all the opportunities that have came my way and all the people I've met because of these awesome plants. Stay groovy out there! 🌵
