Latin
name:
Cereus peruvianus
Common name:
Column Cactus
Light requirements:
High
Here's
a very unique plant for any high light area. It doesn't require much
space... and it flowers. Unfortunately Column cactus shows its
flowers at night... so you'd have to be up early in the
morning to see them.
The
pictured plant is of a rare spiraled form that's fairly difficult to
obtain. This specimen was transplanted into a 17" terra cotta
pot before installation. As you can see it's quite happy as it has nearly grown to the ceiling. We
have Column cactus available ranging in size from small 1 foot
plants to large specimens similar to the pictured plant. |
