While some Cereus Peruvianus will begin to spiral slightly on thier own, THIS IS THE TRUE SPIRALIS! (Cereus forbesii cv. Spiralis). It is a (usually) trunkless cactus that forms numerous tall, ascending, columnar stems which branch at the base in a candelabra-like arrangement. Stems have a waxy bloom on the surface and reach a height of 2-4 metres (but can grow up to 5 m high or more), and are 10 to 12 cm in diameter. They have five to nine widely-spaced ribs. It is a heavy bloomer and large purple fruits are easily produced when flowers are pollinated. It is self-sterile.
LIGHT: Med to Full sun
WATER: These plants are more sensative to over watering than typical Cereus Peruvianus. Keep on the dry side
NATIVE: South America
