Jox Posted December 8, 2012 Can someone please help me to work out this one? I picked up this cactus this morning, I had to dig it up from the ground, it has gone into a big pot now. It is just starting to develop flower buds, so I'm hoping it wont stress to much & they still develop, I think it should be alright. Any help would be appreciated Cheers jox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Jox Posted December 8, 2012 Yea qualia, I was was thinking pilocereus or maybe a cereus spp I haven't seen before. I really don't know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted December 8, 2012 Definately not a Trichocereus. My first impulse was Browningia. Maybe Candelaris or hertlingiana. Another option would be Stenocereus. There are a few that would match too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted December 8, 2012 Just realised it seems to have some very fine hair so Pilosocereus is actually a possibility too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Jox Posted December 8, 2012 ^^LOL, Thanks for the input mate! Thanks for the feed back everyone, I'm guessing I will have to update with some photos of it flowering so we can work out a positive ID. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
