Hello, I am new to this forum and had a cactus that needs identifying. I am really thinking along the lines of Pilosocereus, and at first I thought it was a pachycladus, but now I am not so sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
I am having the same problem identifying these. I thought it was Polaskia Chichipe, but I have seen it identified as Pilocereus Azureus=Pachycladus. The last one is also on the top 10 most common. I am going to take a photo of mine and post it as well.
Yeah, I might have to wait until it gets older or until it flowers. But at least the cactus is doing well so far, even though I only got it a few days ago.
Just to let you know, the number of ribs is 6. This confuses me even more, because it goes against my original theory: I read somewhere that pachycladus have 7-10 ribs.
I have been monitoring this cactus, and its spines are beginning to turn from golden-brown to white. It also has an areole stacked on top of another one, and both have spines on them. Don't know if that helps, either.
