Seeds will germinate under the shade of other helpful Sonoran plants or trees, which are called Nurse Plants. With enough time, approximately 60 to 80 years, their characteristic arms can start to develop. In late spring to early summer, clusters of large funnel-shaped white flowers appear at the tops of each column. It is important to orient plants to the same northern direction they had been growing to avoid burning sensitive tissue. Covering the top with shade cloth or burlap to acclimate the first summer is helpful.
