Cereus? Not sure

Post by nick bayne »

Hi.
I got this a while ago and have been unable to identify it. Any ideas? Thanks, Nick

Yes, Cereus forbesii is the name you usually see associated with this (although there is some dispute about whether that's the best name for these plants.)

Yes multiple names Cereus Hankeanus or Forbesi and a host of other names. I feel it will take on a blue tinge later. Grows well and grows fast. Looks close to dead in winter and magically double grows in summer.
