Symbolism, colors & shapes
Myrtillocactus is not associated with symbolism and there is also no legend about the plant. But you can invent one very quickly. The cactus is a great symbol of conviviality and camaraderie. And the fact that he stings... well that can also be understood as an inspiration to do something nice with friends again. It fits, doesn't it...? If you create perfect conditions for this house friend, he will quickly grow into a handsome guy... After the green-white flowers, blue berries grow on this cactus. Hence the nickname blueberry cactus. In Mexico, it is even eaten as a snack. The green of the plant body has the same function as the green of the leaves of other plants: This allows the plant to produce oxygen and sugar.
Origin
Myrtillocactus is originally from Mexico and Guatemala.
