Product Description

Cereus forbesii is a striking columnar cactus, known for its blue-green, ribbed stems that can reach impressive heights. Its prominent, sharp spines emerge from evenly spaced areoles along the ribs, adding to its sculptural appearance. This fast-growing cactus produces spectacular, large white nocturnal flowers that release a sweet fragrance to attract night pollinators. Over time, it may develop woody trunks and branching arms, forming a dramatic silhouette. It also bears small, edible red fruits, which add to its ornamental and ecological value.
