**Scientific Name** Stetsonia coryne canarias (Stetson's plant that looks like a club, from/of the canaries) **Common Name** Toothpick Cactus **Origin** Native to South America, especially Argentina **Description** This cactus will eventually grow taller, but for now it's more like a reverse pin cushion- with all the spikes pointing outwards! The deep blue-green of this cactus is contrasted with the spikes, which grade from deep maroon to red to white. Put this plant in your brightest window and it will thank you with stunning colours- and sharp spikes! Watch your fingers and don't water too much and you're in for a treat. **Light** This cactus is happiest in full sun, though it can tolerate some shade. A window that gets a few hours of sun per day will be a great place to put this plant! **Water** Allow all the soil to dry out between watering; if the plant becomes crispy it may have too much sun and too little water; if it starts to grow mushy or rot at the roots, likely too much wat
