The Cereus peruvianus commonly known as the Peruvian Apple Cactus, is a fast-growing, columnar cactus known for its towering height, blue-green stems. This drought-tolerant cactus can grow up to 20 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for landscaping, privacy screens, and large decorative pots.

Please Note: Our collection includes bare-root WITHOUT any soil or pot and cuttings. Some of our plants may have minor scars, yet each one is guaranteed to arrive in optimal health and excellent condition. Additionally, any discoloration at the base of the cactus, particularly in rooted variants, is a typical result of previous planting in soil. 

Product Details

Benefits

✔ Fast-Growing & Tall – Can reach up to 20 feet, making it a great natural privacy barrier.
✔ Drought-Tolerant & Low Maintenance – Thrives in dry conditions with minimal care.
✔ Beautiful Night-Blooming Flowers – Large, white blossoms attract pollinators.
✔ Great for Landscaping & Containers – Ideal for rock gardens, xeriscaping, and large pots.

Cactus Care

✔ After Arrival: Let your Peruvian Apple Cactus rest in a shaded, dry area for a few days before planting. Use a well-draining cactus mix, such as sandy soil with added perlite or pumice. Avoid watering for the first week to help it adjust.

✔ Long-Term Care: Place in full sun to partial shade for best growth. Water deeply but only when the soil is completely dry, typically every 2-3 weeks in warm months and even less in winter. Protect from hard frost (below 25°F) by bringing it indoors or covering it in extreme cold.

✔ Hardiness Zone: 9-11

Healthy Cutting

Received a healthy, rootless cutting in great condition. It was planted two weeks ago and is already pushing out buds and starting to grow. Couldn't be more pleased.
