Stenocereus beneckei, often called the "Organ Pipe Cactus," is a visually striking cactus known for its tall, cylindrical stems that grow in clusters, mimicking the pipes of an organ. Native to the arid regions of Mexico, this cactus features vibrant green, thickly ribbed columns with well-defined ridges that serve as structural adaptations to conserve water in desert environments.

Stenocereus beneckei thrives in bright, direct sunlight and requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot. When watering, allow the soil to dry completely between sessions, as this cactus is drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering. During the growing season, water moderately, reducing the frequency in winter when the plant enters dormancy.
