Myrtillocactus geometrizans
Common Name: Blue Candle Cactus

Myrtillocactus geometrizans, commonly known as the Blue Candle, is a fast-growing, columnar cactus prized for its powdery blue skin and elegant, branching growth. Native to central and northern Mexico, this striking species can form a sculptural, tree-like shape over time, making it a favorite for landscape accents, large containers, or as hardy grafting stock for rare cactus forms.

The blue coloration intensifies with age and sun exposure, and mature plants may produce clusters of small greenish flowers followed by edible, dark purple fruits resembling tiny blueberries—hence the genus name Myrtillocactus (“myrtle cactus”).

☀ Light Requirements
Thrives in full sun. Outdoors, give it strong, direct light for best color and form. Indoors, place near a very bright window or under supplemental grow lights to encourage upward growth.

💧 Watering Needs
Water deeply when soil is fully dry. This species is drought-tolerant and prefers lean, well-draining soil. Reduce watering in winter or during periods of dormancy.

🌡 Temperature Tolerance
Hardy to about 25–30°F in dry conditions. Protect from frost and freezing wet soil. For cold climates or winter shipping, consider adding a [Heat Pack].

✨ Special Features
• Blue Skin – Powdery glaucous coating gives the plant its iconic blue hue
• Branching Habit – Develops into a sculptural, multi-armed form with age
• Fast-Growing & Versatile – Excellent as a statement plant or grafting stock

Other Common Names:
Blue Myrtle Cactus, Blue Candle, Bilberry Cactus

Fantastic for rosacea, PD, atopic dermatitis, dry skin
I’ve been using this for close to a year and it is amazing for my super sensitive and dry skin. I have perioral dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea and live in Minnesota with bitter cold and the heater running over half the year. Cicalfate cream doesn’t flare any of these and it helps reduce redness and completely resolves dry skin. I use about a pea size amount AM and PM,, apply to dry skin, massage in, then mist with the Avene thermal water spray. Although the cream is thick, the slight white cast absorbs within a few minutes. I do not wear foundation so I don’t know how this affects it.it doesn’t burn my eyes and I’m a contact lens wearer. A big tube of cream lasts me the better part of a year.

Great for harsh winters
I was recommended this product by ChatGPT as an effective and safe product that my wife (who is currently nursing) can use. We have been very mindful of certain additives and chemicals in our products and this was able to meet our requirements. Separately in the harsh winter in the northeast, this has been extremely effective in protecting the lips

Ruined by Reformulation
New formula update: They ruined this product by reformulating. Used to be so hydrating, long-lasting, and the only thing that gave me relief from eczema. Now it is somehow SO drying, oily, and all around terrible. Judging by reviews here and on their website many customers are unhappy with the change. Done with Avene. Original five star review: This is a great all around lip balm, but if you struggle with perioral dermatitis/eczema then you NEED this. If I'm experiencing a flare, I slather on cicalfate+ at night but I can't exactly walk around with that during the day which is where this lip product comes in. It is calming, hydrating, and long-lasting. I have gone through more tubes than I can count. This was my first time ordering through amazon and I am happy to report I received authentic Avene.

It’s a God Send
I had a rash all around my lips and my lips got extremely dried out and started to peel. I used Avene Cicalfate Restorative Lip Cream and it really soothed my lips with the moisture they needed, and you don’t need to use a lot of this product. I plan on buying this again. Just wish the tube was bigger! I use other Avene products and I’m extremely happy with them.

To be beautiful, would highly recommend it
I purchased this for a friend who is making a memory garden in memory of a friend she recently lost. As soon as she opened it, she cried. She said it is the most beautiful thing she’s ever seen. It’s not small. It’s a good size and it lights up really really nice.
