Rating for this plant:
Frost Tolerance: Hardy to -10 C
Distribution: SE Brazil, N Argentina
Habit: Tree-like
Encounterability: Very common in the collections and also as a house plant.
This plant is popularly known as Cereus peruvianus. But this is misapplied synonym for Cereus hildmannianus.
Indeed, C.peruvianus is real synonym of C.repandus.
Synonymes:
Cereus peruvianus L. (misapplied), Piptanthocereus bageanus, Cereus milesimus, Piptanthocereus neonesioticus, Cereus neonesioticus, Cereus xanthocarpus, Piptanthocereus xanthocarpus, Cereus hildmannianus subsp. xanthocarpus.
After stem cutting, the new offsets could be with 4 ribs (like in my photos), the normal rib number is 5 to 8.
