Details

The Cereus 'Cuddly Cactus' is a striking columnar succulent known for its sculptural, upright growth and soft, touchable appearance. While not exactly “cuddly,” its minimal spines and approachable aesthetic make it a popular choice for homes and offices. Its blue-green or silvery tones add a modern, stylish vibe to any space.

This slow-growing cactus is native to arid regions of South America and thrives in warm, sunny environments. Its unique structure makes it a perfect centerpiece for minimalist decor or succulent collections.

Common Names: Cuddly Cactus, Friendly Cereus
Botanical Name: Cereus species
Size: Grows up to 12-24 inches tall indoors with proper care; larger outdoors in ideal conditions.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers full sun or bright, indirect light. Place near a south- or west-facing window for optimal growth.
Water: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially during cooler months when growth slows. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Thrives in low-humidity environments. Avoid misting, as excess moisture can cause fungal issues.
Feeding: Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a cactus-specific fertilizer. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can stress the plant.
Temperature: Best suited for temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Adding sand or perlite can enhance drainage.
