Cereus repandus cv Florida

Cereus repandus cv Florida is a cultivated variant of the Cereus repandus cactus, known for its robust growth and potentially large sizes. Like other members of the Cereus family, this variety is appreciated for its impressive architectural appearance and vertical columns.

Origin: Cereus repandus is native to parts of South America, but the 'Florida' variety has been cultivated for its specific characteristics, to adapt to or stand out in specific growing environments, such as Florida.
Growth: Cereus repandus cv Florida can reach considerable heights, sometimes several meters, especially when grown outdoors in warm climates. It usually develops one or more thick trunks and can produce branches.
Flowers: Like most Cereus cacti, it can produce flowers, often large and fragrant, which open at night. These flowers are generally white or cream in color.
Light: Prefers full sun. Intense direct light is ideal for healthy growth.
Watering: As a cactus, it requires limited watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In winter, reduce watering.
Substrate: Requires well-draining soil. A cactus mix is ideal.
Temperature: Tolerates high temperatures and can survive periods of light cold, but must be protected from frost.
Toxicity: Cereus cacti are not toxic, but their thorns can be very prickly and must be handled with care.
