Cereus peruvianus ‘Tortuosus’ – The Twisted Torch Cactus 18cm

The Cereus peruvianus ‘Tortuosus’ is a truly unique and sculptural cactus, known for its twisted, spiralling blue-green stems that give it a dramatic, almost otherworldly appearance.

Native to South America, this slow-growing variety adds height, movement, and texture to any plant collection — whether in a minimalist modern home or a desert-inspired display.

Care Instructions:

• 🌞 Light: Loves full sun to bright, indirect light. The more sun, the more vibrant and defined the twists become.

• 💧 Watering: Very drought-tolerant. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly in winter.

• 🌡️ Temperature: Prefers warm, dry climates—keep above 10°C and protect from frost.

• 🪴 Soil & Pot: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus mix in a pot with drainage holes. Repot only when root-bound.
