pinegapcontrol Posted December 30, 2010 im guessing Cereus Peruvianus Monstrose ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bit Posted December 31, 2010 Freakin sweet/undamged plant! I think cereus of some sort too, black spines and blueness is unusual, although I have seen the blue in Cereus caesius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted December 31, 2010 you're right bit, it might not be C.peruvianus due to black spines both in old and new growth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 pinegapcontrol Posted January 6, 2011 Any other thoughts out there? These are the only pics i could find of Cereus caesius - http://www.cacti.co.nz/index.php/library/e/category/221-cereus-caesius-monstrose Ive only just begun to entertain the idea of an aerole graft, would this give me the original plant?

0 bℓσωηG Posted January 6, 2011 SPARE A CUT? its a cool plant indeed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 pinegapcontrol Posted January 6, 2011 Im having trouble just taking cuts for myself, its hard to cut up a full plant and not leave it looking cut up. Im gunna let it settle and maybe take a few cuts around september. I will make it known if cuts or plants are available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bℓσωηG Posted January 6, 2011 cool, its waay different to my Cereus monstosus which has suddenly put out new growth after planting it a year or more ago.. but now its not holding back , i think they just take a while to set roots and get going, yours seems semi monstrose , kinda knobbly , i likey alot.

0 selfsufficient Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) I found one like this at my aunt's house, pretty sure its a c. peruvianus monstrose. It's at least a meter tall! I plan on taking some cuttings the next time I'm over there, overall a very cool cactus. She got it from her husband's brother, who got it from a coworker as a gift. He apparently hated it and tried to kill it by leaving it under a table somewhere. Its much happier now. I'm assuming root as one normally would?

0 Moses Posted January 14, 2011 with the black spinage could this be cereus aethiops? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mac Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I have seen this one called The knobby monstrose form but the spines look like Cereus aethiops http://www.columnar-cacti.org/cereus/ Edited January 15, 2011 by mac Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Moses Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) I have seen this one called The knobby monstrose form but the spines look like Cereus aethiops yeah i too was wondering about C.aethiops. it would seem most cereus monstrose develop a similar growth pattern and we all instantly see c.peruvianus but i'd love a piece to add to the monster collection just the same.
