Product Description

The Cereus sp. represents a group of columnar cacti known for their upright, tall growth and striking, ribbed stems. These cacti typically have bluish-green to grayish-green stems adorned with clusters of sharp spines along well-defined ribs. Depending on the species, Cereus can reach heights of 10-30 feet and may develop branched, tree-like forms over time. Most species in this genus are known for their night-blooming flowers, which are large, white or pale pink, and intensely fragrant, attracting nocturnal pollinators. The flowers are followed by edible fruits, often red or yellow, containing a sweet, juicy pulp and small seeds.

Cultivation

• Soil type: Prefers well-drained, sandy or gritty soil suitable for cacti, with good aeration.

• Watering frequency: Water deeply during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings; reduce watering in winter.

• Light exposure: Requires full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily; tolerates partial shade in extremely hot climates.

• Temperature requirements: Thrives in warm conditions, ideally between 70-90°F (21-32°C); sensitive to frost.

• Fertilization: Use a balanced, low-nitrogen cactus fertilizer during the growing season, applied every 4-6 weeks.

• Pruning: Remove damaged or dead stems to encourage healthy growth.

• Common pests: Be mindful of mealybugs and spider mites; treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
