0 CβL Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) Cereus peruvianus (85% sure) - congratulations. First of all, thanks for checking that thread. Even if it didn't solve your problem, it shows you're at least trying. Secondly, the ribs on a Tricho - despite getting extremely thirsty, will generally never get anywhere near the shape of a Cereus (I've got a 18 month old cutting that is still, mostly fat, despite growing like 3-4 pups that kept getting knocked off). The Cereus shape is really distinctive, and you can't really miss it. The side-profile, where it seems to bounce from each areole to the next - is a characteristic of a C. Peruvianus. Lastly, C.P. is one of the more common Cereus plants around people's homes (being a garden centre plant), so I think that it's very likely on statistics alone to be one.

0 gilligan Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I'd have to disagree on the ribs of a trich never gettin anywhere near a cereus. Over my time of grafting, I've actually found a number of trichs suck in the body of the stock, looking very much like a cereus. This has never been exhibited on a standalone plant, only grafts...

0 Jox Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I'd say Cereus peruvianus too. I just had to go check my rubbish pile to see if you had been past mine , If you are after more cacti or succulents & are happy to pick up from Mt Tamborine send me a PM mate. jox Edited February 14, 2013 by Jox 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 illogicalBrew Posted February 14, 2013 Thanks for the prompt responses - I'll put my blender away now. It's funny how to the untrained eye, wishful thinking places emphasis is placed on similar characteristics (in my case - zomg small spines = E. panachoi) rather than the ones that differentiate it.
