Product Description

This Cereus species from the north-east of Zacatecas, Mexico is a remarkable cactus characterized by its tall, columnar growth habit and robust, segmented stems. Its blue-green ribs are lined with evenly spaced areoles, from which emerge clusters of stiff spines that vary in length and color, often displaying a golden or brownish hue. During the blooming season, this desert native produces stunning large, nocturnal flowers, typically white with a faint fragrance, followed by small, edible, brightly colored fruits. Its imposing stature and unique features make it a keystone species in its natural habitat.

Cultivation

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

• 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.
