Cereus 'Peruvian Apple' Cactus

This plant requires full, direct sun for at least six hours daily to encourage strong growth and flowering, though they can tolerate bright, indirect light indoors. 

Provide deep but infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry completely between sessions. 

 

Spring/ Summer

Water every 2-3 weeks or when the top few inches of soil feel dry. 

 

Fall/ Winter

Water 1 a month, if that. Reduce watering significantly, as the plant is dormant and prone to root rot if overwatered.

We suggest Espoma Cactus Mix or Rosy Soil Organic Cactus & Succulent Mix. 

 

To keep your plant fed, we suggest Espoma Cactus Liquid Plant Food.

 

Proper nutrition is important to the health of your plant and its longevity. To ensure your plant is getting the appropriate nutrition, use a fertilizer labelled for the needs of this plant and apply according to the label.
