Pilosocereus azureus is a stunning cactus house plant that is also known as the blue candle or blue torch plant. This columnar, tree-like cactus can grow to over 10m tall in the wilds of Brazil where it inhabits semi-tropical areas. The blue tone of the stems tends to become more prominent as the cactus ages. Hence the nickname “Blue Torch”.
