Pilosocereus puppureus care

I am a newby to cacti. I want to know more than what is on this site about Pilosocereus Purpureus. How should I care for it, cultivate seeds, how big does it get, how to prune it, dormancy, watering it, etc. What climate does it come from?. We are in zone 6. Any info will be appreciated.
