Glorp has that Giggity! #glorp #cactusjeff #myrtillocactusgeometrizans
You know that feeling when you stumble upon a plant that just has that something? For me, it's the Myrtillocactus Geometrizans, especially what collectors lovingly call the 'Glorp' form. When I first saw one, I instantly understood why they say 'Glorp has that Giggity!' It’s not just a cactus; it’s a living sculpture that brings serious character to any collection. So, what exactly is a 'Glorp' cactus? While 'Glorp' isn't a formal botanical name, in the enthusiastic world of cactus collectors, it often refers to Myrtillocactus Geometrizans specimens with particularly striking, often monstrous or crested, growth patterns. These aren't your average columnar cacti! They develop unique, sometimes undulating or lumpy, forms that are truly captivating. It's like nature decided to get extra creative, resulting in these wonderfully quirky shapes that make them highly sought after. I remember the thrill of finding my first one; it felt like unearthing a hidden gem! Caring for your Myrtillocactus Geometrizans 'Glorp' isn't too different from other desert cacti, which is great news for beginners and seasoned enthusiasts alike. They absolutely thrive in bright, direct sunlight – think a sunny window, a patio, or a greenhouse. When it comes to watering, less is definitely more. I usually wait until the soil is completely dry, often for several weeks, before giving it a good soak, especially during its active growing season in spring and summer. In winter, I cut back watering almost entirely to let it rest. Good drainage is non-negotiable, so make sure your pot has holes and you use a well-draining cactus mix. Trust me, root rot is the enemy! Now, about another query I often see related to these unique cacti: 'Nicci Azzy'. This name sometimes pops up when people are looking for very specific, often variegated or unusually formed Myrtillocactus Geometrizans cultivars. For instance, the famous *Myrtillocactus geometrizans 'Fukurokuryuzinboku'*, affectionately known as the 'Boobie Cactus' due to its distinct, mammary-like tubercles, is one such unique form that generates a lot of buzz. While 'Nicci Azzy' itself might refer to a specific nursery, collector, or even another highly prized, unusually shaped variant, the common thread is a love for these genetically unique and visually stunning mutations of the Myrtillocactus. It's like everyone is searching for their own version of that 'giggity' plant! I’ve been fascinated by the sheer diversity within this species, and finding these special forms really adds another layer of excitement to collecting. Whether you're drawn to the classic columnar beauty of Myrtillocactus Geometrizans or the eccentric charm of a 'Glorp' or 'Boobie Cactus,' these plants are incredibly rewarding. They're relatively low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and bring such a distinctive architectural element to any space. My own 'Glorp' has become a real conversation starter, and I love watching its unique features develop. It truly embodies that 'Giggity' spirit – a little bit quirky, a whole lot charming, and undeniably special. If you haven't added one to your collection yet, what are you waiting for? You won't regret bringing that unique 'Glorp' character into your home!
