Fall 2021 Cactus Update Part 1... From The Back Porch

Fall 2021 Cactus Update Part 1… From The Back Porch

Cactus on the back porch on 9-22-21, #833-2. Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you well. It has been a strange fall for sure. I was able to let the potted plants stay outside until October 28 this year. While we did have a cold snap and a few light “F’s’, low’s through Wednesday will be 46-54° F. After that we go downhill again. If I wanted, and no one was looking, I could take the plants…

Special thanks to @apothicary_garden for getting these and many more cacti and succulent cuttings to me. These two I’m especially excited about. Echinopsis Pachanoi on the left and Cereus Repandus on the right. So exciting to continuously find new ways to add to the diversity of what’s being Grown in Haiti! ・・・ #growninhaiti #cacti #cuttings #sharingiscaring #propagation #variety #diversity #medicinal #edible #fruit #desertfruits #desertplants #haiti #ayiti #sanpedro #peruvianapplecactus #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #foodforest #agroforestry #plantsomething #laboroflove https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PouL3F-cQ/?igshid=y3by7m7i2ni

14 november 2017 I Terugblik Bonaire, Cactus op Bonaire 2008

‘De meest voorkomende cactus op Bonaire is de kadushi (Cereus repandus). Deze zuilcactus kan maar liefst 18 meter hoog worden en wordt door de lokale bevolking voor diverse doeleinden ingezet. Enerzijds worden er van de plant culinaire hoogstandjes gefabriceerd in de Bonairiaanse keuken zoals kadushi-soep en kadushi-likeur, anderzijds kunnen er van de kadushi-cactus muziekinstrumenten gemaakt worden.’

Ondanks de vele naalden toch een ‘lekkere’ plek om op te zitten voor de parkietjes, lora, iquana of een mier.  

Ook de Infrou/Tuna/Spaanse juffer (Opuntia wentiana) komt veel voor op Bonaire. Ze verspreiden zich o.a. op het eiland door een ‘lift’ te krijgen van een geit of ezel. De schijf breekt makkelijk af als je hem aanraakt en blijft dan makkelijk in de vacht van de passerende dieren hangen. Zo kan de schijfcactus grote afstanden afleggen om ergens anders een nieuwe bestaan op te bouwen!

Peruvian apple cactus

PERUVIAN APPLE CACTUS SKIN

PERUVIAN APPLE CACTUS FULL

You can buy a cactus mix, and if it seems to maintain too much water, add some sand to improve the drainage. The hedge cactus thrives best in well-draining soil. During the fall and winter, decrease the watering. Make sure to let the soil dry out almost completely before each irrigation. In this period, the plant needs more water since it’s producing fruits and should support the new growth. During its growth season (spring and summer), increase the watering. The hedge cactus watering need is the same as the other succulents. Remember that this sturdy plant is not crazy about humidity.

And if you are growing one outdoors, provide it with full sun (plus 8 hours per day).

If such a location is not available in your home, rotate the pot a few times a year to even out the leaning. If you choose another spot, you’ll notice it leaning towards the light.

If you are growing one indoors, consider a south-facing window with a temperature around 77° F.

For the best growth, provide it with as much sun as possible: We talked about Peruvian apple cactus hardiness in the previous paragraphs, now let’s see what kind of light and what temperatures it prefers. Here are the essential Peruvian apple cactus care tips you need to know: Light & Temperature It is a perfect plant to grow outdoors, but you can grow it indoors too (with a slightly slower growth rate). Like other cacti, the Cereus repandus has relatively simple care requirements as well. Peruvian Apple Cactus Care (Indoors & Outdoors) In the Peruvian apple cactus care, we’ll talk about the ideal temperatures more. If growing outdoors, cover the ends of your plant with Styrofoam cups or sheets to protect during periods of frost. This night-blooming plant is hardy to 18° F and will freeze in the lower temperatures. In arid regions and dry seasons, they are an essential source of food for birds. But the hedge cactus fruit health benefits are not just for us. So, is Peruvian apple cactus fruit edible? Yes, and it is excellent to add to your diet thanks to its benefits. You can simply spoon it out and eat it, or use it in a salad, smoothie, fruit salsa, or dessert recipes. These slightly acidic fruits are surprisingly nutritious since they contain high amounts of Vitamin C, beta-carotene, and fiber. In addition to its sweet taste, Peruvian apple cactus fruit health benefits are also interesting. And as the fruit completely opens out, it gets sweeter.

The fruits have no thorns, and their skin color ranges from yellow to violet-red. The Peruvian apple cactus blooms later turn into edible fruits or Peruvian apples (called Pitaya or Olala in some parts of Bolivia). The short-lived flowers stay open for a night and are vital for their pollination. This plant grows quickly, about 2 to 4 feet in a year in ideal conditions.Ĭereus peruvianus has large flowers with a showy cream color that appear in the summertime and are only open at night. Under natural conditions, it can’t grow taller than 82 feet.Īs you can guess by these records, the Peruvian apple cactus growth rate is high. If supported using a scaffold, it can reach up to 110 feet, as the one did at a college in India, technically making it the tallest cactus in the world. Regardless of the impressive Peruvian apple cactus height, this is a self-supporting plant. It has cylindrical gray-green to blue stems that can grow up to 33 feet in height and 4 to 8 inches in diameter. In fact, it is one of the largest cacti species. This is a large plant with a tree-like appearance. This variety as well as the classic hedge cactus are mostly grown as an ornamental plant, but we shouldn’t forget about its edible “apples” and their inner cane-like wood that people use for constructing wattle and daub. However, it has thick stems and larger fruits. Peruvian apple cactus monstrose or the curiosity plant is a shorter variety of this plant. The thorns are often numerous, but can also be missing entirely. It has small areoles that are far apart, with variable straight spines that can be as long as almost 2 inches. This tall and thorny plant has 9 to 10 rounded ribs that grow for about 0.4 inch. It is also called kayush and cadushi in Papiamento and Wayuunaiki, and is originally native to Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Scientifically named Cereus repandus or Cereus peruvianus (which is more common), this columnar plant is also known as Giant Club Cactus, Hedge Cactus, Night Blooming Cereus, and Queen of the Night.
