PERUVIAN APPLE CACTUS INTRODUCTION | Episode 4
Hello guys welcome to my channel. For this episode ay pag uusapan natin
yung isa sa mga naka hiligan kong alagaan which is ang peruvian apple cactus or tawag ng iba ay cereus peruvianus o cerues repandus.
Varieties: There are a few varieties which get confused with this cacti, because they have similarities and grow with a column stem. For example, the difference between the C.peruvinus and C.jamacara cactus is the, spines (C.P brown - C.J yellow) and flowers (C.P are longer). Then there’s a deformed looking (stems and ribs are kind of twisted), slow growing, mutant type, that can not be confused with the Apple cactus at all - because it's so peculiar looking.
How they look: I cannot say these are the most attractive indoor plant or cacti I have seen, although cacti lovers and growers will grow these as part of a cactus collection. Saying that, the funnel shaped flowers are beautiful looking, which grow up to 6in - 8in long and white or pink in color. These flowers will open up during the night and close at morning time. The thick stem is a green and greyish cacti color, with brown spines, growing from the edge of the stem ribs.
They are grown outdoors up to 30ft in height (in the correct climate) and can be kept to a height that suits an indoor room, with pruning.
Displaying: Display in a room that gets plenty of sunlight and a solid (and heavy) container, for when it matures in size (to keep it sturdy and prevent it from toppling over). Many are kept in greenhouses or entrances to buildings and rooms for d้cor purposes.
Growing and care: Just like most cacti plants, these are very easy to grow indoors and need very little attention. Two of the main things to take care of is using a good draining cacti soil, and plenty of bright light (more about care and conditions below). An issue could arise when the plant matures, and finding a suitable room for it's height, although pruning the top will reduce it..
