Pencil Cactus

Pencil Cactus
The Pencil Cactus, or Sophora Erecta, is a cactus that can be commonly found in Bridgedale Woods or the Enchanted Jungle.

General Information
Pencil Cacti are often very tall, usually spanning from 42 to 72 inches in height. The Pencil Cactus is a bright green color that fades to a soft green towards its crest. The Pencil Cactus is spineless, soft to the touch, and blooms vibrant pink flowers.

Name Origin
The Pencil Cactus received its name due to its tall, slender appearance, thus resembling a pencil.

Further Information
Pencil Cacti often grow in large patches, behavior that is unusual of a cactus. This is because it is no ordinary cactus. Unlike most cacti, the Pencil Cactus cannot survive a long period of time without water. Equally peculiar is that it grows best in the rich, moist soil of a shaded region.

Like all cacti, however, it does photosynthesize via its stem, as well as produce flowers possessing more than 10 petals.

The Pencil Cactus is not a viable source of water, seeing as it does not preserve water in the same manner as does a typical cactus. However, Pencil Cacti are perfectly safe to eat, as well as nourishing. This is because of its growth in nutrient-rich soil.
