Cereus Peruvianus Florida - Peruvian Apple Cactus (6cm)

Baby Cereus Peruvianus Florida, which is also commonly known as the Night Flowering Cactus or Apple Cactus, is a small house plant with upright, columnar stems which are deep green in colour, with brown spines. This plant can produce small white flowers which only bloom at night, which is how it received its common name.

The Night Flowering Cactus is an incredibly low maintenance plant which will only need watering when the soil has dried out completely. It will grow well in a sunny spot by a window as long as it doesn’t get too drafty.

The miniature size of this baby plant makes it perfect for smaller homes and spaces. It would look fabulous in the living room, as bedroom plants or bathroom plants, but a baby plant is also great as a desk plant to brighten up an office, or to brighten up a small shelf.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
