Myrtillocactus Geometrizans cv. Fukurokuryuzinboku | Boob Cactus

Myrtillocactus Geometrizans cv. Fukurokuryuzinboku is a strange monstrous form or Myrtillocactus gerometrizans, and a very rare collector item, better known as the Boob Cactus, is one of the most unusual and collectible cactus cultivars in the world. This rare Japanese cultivar of the Blue Candle Cactus develops distinctive rounded protrusions along its ribs, giving it a sculpted, almost surreal appearance that cactus enthusiasts adore. Its bluish-green body, paired with its quirky form, makes it an instant showpiece in any rare plant collection.

Native to Mexico, Myrtillocactus geometrizans is a hardy and fast-growing species, and the Fukurokuryuzinboku cultivar shares these resilient qualities. It thrives in well-draining soil, bright light, and minimal watering, making it low-maintenance yet highly rewarding. Over time, this rare cactus can grow into a multi-branched specimen that’s both bizarre and beautiful, perfect for collectors seeking something truly extraordinary. Its vernacular English names “Breast cactus”, “Boob Cactus” or “Titty cactus” come from the particular shape of the tubercled ribs that resemble women’s breasts. This plant – apart from the 5-8 strange chinned breasts – is similar in all other features to the more common “Blue Candle” or Myrtillocactus Geometrizans and can grow up to a few meters tall. It develops a beautiful glaucous blue with age.
