- Cereus Seed Variety : The pack includes a selection of seeds from different species within the Cereus genus, allowing you to experiment with various flower shapes, sizes, and colors. Some common species may include Cereus peruvianus , Cereus repandus , and Cereus hildmannianus .
Special Features:
- Species Diversity : By including multiple Cereus species, this mix offers a varied and enriching growing experience, allowing you to observe the differences in growth, flowering and adaptability of each species.
- Spectacular Bloom : Cereus are known for their large, showy flowers that, in many species, open at night and emit a pleasant scent. This feature makes them especially attractive for night gardens and for attracting pollinators such as butterflies and moths.
- Adaptability : The species included in the mix are selected for their ability to adapt to different growing conditions, whether indoors, outdoors, pots or cactus gardens.
Watering: Cereus require moderate watering, allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), it is important to keep the substrate slightly moist, while in winter, watering should be significantly reduced to prevent root rot.
Lighting: They prefer full sun for optimal growth. It is essential to provide them with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Indoors, place the plants near south- or west-facing windows to ensure good light exposure.
Pests: Cereus are generally resistant to pests, but can be susceptible to mealybugs, spider mites and aphids. It is recommended to regularly inspect the plants and use environmentally friendly products, such as potassium soap or neem oil, to control any infestation.
Cold hardiness: Most Cereus species are sensitive to cold and do not tolerate frost. It is important to protect them from temperatures that fall below 10°C. In cold climates, they are best grown indoors or in greenhouses where they can receive warmer temperatures during the winter.
Flowering: Depending on the species, Cereus can take several years to flower. Most species flower in spring or summer, with flowers lasting from a few hours to several days, depending on environmental conditions and the specific species.
Shipping: All shipments are made through Bluespress. For more details on the cultivation and care of Cereus , please consult our cultivation manuals on our website: www.arcademendel.com .
