| Home Page | There are about 40 species of Cereus in the Caribbean and South America. The classification of Cereus has been in flux for years, and the exact number of species varies from author to author. Generally they are tall, columnar, easy growing cacti. The varieties coming from the Caribbean or from the equatorial parts of South America often require heat in winter. The areoles of the Cereus don't have long hair.
The flowers do not have areoles or spines, but they have a few scales. They are generally large, white, either funnel or trumpet-shaped. They are followed by a yellow or red fruit, generally edible containing black seeds.
They are easily propagated by cuttings, but are also easy to grow from seeds, although then they are much slower to grow.
