Cereus peruvianus monstrose
The monstrose cactus has unique, ribbed stems that'll make you feel like you live in a desert oasis. If you're lucky, it'll reward you with flowers and fruits similar to dragon fruit. Available in half-foot (0.5FT) to 3FT lengths.
Pro-tip: Place in front of a window for best results, preferably with southern or western exposure.
Please note that this cactus is a cutting, sold bare-root. Want a DIY kit? Shop the DIY Monstrose Cactus Kit. Not sure how to pot? Check out our cactus potting guide here.

Large, sculptural, and fun.
This cactus blew my expectations out of the water! It is much larger than I expected and I was pleasantly surprised. This is a beautiful specimen and arrived in perfect condition. Looks so funky and sculptural! Loved adding this guy to my cacti collection.

Beautiful cactus
My intent was to plant her in my front yard, which I still may once she grows roots. But for now, she is loving being in a pot, receiving lots of direct light. I love having her in the house.
