Trichocereus cuzcoensis
Cuzco cactus
Description
Trichocereus cuzcoensis is a columnar cactus native to the Andes region of Peru. It's known for its tall, upright growth habit, often forming multiple stems. The stems are typically green with prominent ribs and clusters of spines. The plant produces large, fragrant, white flowers that bloom at night. These cacti are adapted to arid and semi-arid environments. For cultivation, provide well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. These cacti are relatively hardy and make striking additions to desert gardens or collections.
