Craving tropical vibes without the beach trip? Meet the Piña Colada Cactus — a delightfully quirky, sun-loving stunner that looks like it belongs in a cabana, not a cactus pot. With its frothy golden spines and wild, crested form, this cactus brings the party wherever it’s planted. It’s a standout in rock gardens, sunny windowsills, or desert-inspired landscapes. Hardy in USDA zones 8b–11, the Piña Colada thrives in full sun to partial shade, planted in fast-draining cactus soil that lets it sip, not soak.

Pina Colada Cactus - 5 Gallon
This cactus may sound like a drink, but it’s not thirsty — in fact, it prefers you forget about watering most of the time. Let the soil dry out completely before giving it a deep drink and cut back in cooler months. Low water, low effort, and high style — the Piña Colada Cactus is the perfect plant for anyone who wants a little tropical flair without breaking a sweat.
