Boobie Cactus – Myrtillocactus Geometrizans cv. Fukurokuryuzinboku
Also known as the "Boobie Cactus", the Boobie Cactus is a unique cultivar of Myrtillocactus Geometrizans, originally native to central Mexico. This particular variation, developed in Japan, is a stunning ornamental cactus that draws its name from its distinctive, breast-like protrusions.
The name Fukurokuryuzinboku combines elements of Japanese mythology—Fukurokuju (one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, symbolizing wealth, happiness, and longevity) and Ryuzinboku (meaning "dragon tree"). It symbolizes good fortune and is often given as a gift to convey blessings of prosperity and health.

Just received this item and it is very soft and squishy, usually signaling rot from overwatering or disease? will give it a week or 2 to see if it gets better but most likely will be returning. very disappointing

It was very well packaged, pretty good quality plant it came with only a little bit of cosmetic damage but that is not going to affect the rest of the plant. The cactus is larger than I thought it would be and I'm okay with that honestly I am excited to watch it grow and flourish in my little collection.

Had this been healthy it would’ve been adorable, but the bottom 1/3 of the cactus was rotten and the rest of the cactus was spongy.

The product came bare rooted. It does state in the description but wish the pictures would have been accurate. The roots seem to be fairly weak so not sure if my plant will make it. I'll update if it does and change rating.
