Cereus peruvianus Florida, Peruvian Apple Cactus
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Bring bold architectural structure into your home with Cereus peruvianus 'Florida', commonly known as the Peruvian Apple Cactus. Renowned for its distinctive, glaucous blue-green stems and ribbed columnar growth, this striking desert botanical makes a commanding focal point in any modern indoor jungle.
Native to South America, the 'Florida' strain is prized for its tidy, upright habit and ease of care. Under optimal conditions and bright sunlight, mature specimens can produce large, nocturnal white blossoms that open for just one night, followed by vibrant, edible fruits known as Peruvian apples.
Whether positioned on a sunny windowsill, a bright patio during summer, or integrated into a curated cacti collection, this resilient plant delivers maximum visual impact with minimal routine effort.
