Frequent touching can disturb the uniform appearance of the surface, so careful handling helps preserve it. A stable pot, plenty of light and gradual acclimatisation to sun are important as the plant grows. Explore the plants in the category Cereus.

General care

  • Light: A bright position, with gradual acclimatisation to sun to prevent scorching of the stems.
  • Watering: Water during growth after the compost has dried, reducing watering during dormancy.
  • Compost: A well-draining mix and a stable pot suited to the plant's size and root system.
  • Temperature: Protect from frost, persistent rain and wind that could overturn tall pots.
  • Maintenance: Monitor the stability of the stems and use protection when handling, avoiding standing water in the pot.
