Cereus Peruvianis

Mature Plant


This fast growing cereus produces enormous white blossoms to 7" across. 
Each bloom lasts only one night, but the blooming season can last from
April through November in the Valley of the Sun. The fruit turn red when
the seeds inside are mature. Cereus peruvianis make a dramatic
centerpiece in just a few seasons. Their growth rate can be slowed
somewhat by withholding water, but this is not a plant for small areas.
Peruvianis does not do well in super hot locations such as against west
facing walls or surrounded by reflective surfaces such as cement decking.
In open areas they are fine in full sun. They do like a good watering
every 10 days in summer.
