Espostoa Guentheri f. Cristata | Rare Crested Espostoa Cactus | 3” Pot | Collector Plant

This is an Espostoa guentheri f. cristata, a rare crested form of the iconic Andean columnar cactus, prized for its dense golden spines and dramatic fan-shaped crest.

Unlike standard Espostoa, the cristata (crested) form grows in a flattened, undulating ridge rather than a single column. The result is a striking, architectural plant with texture, symmetry, and serious collector appeal. Under strong light, the golden spines glow against deep green skin — absolutely eye-catching.

Slow growing and not mass produced, this is a true collector cactus.
