Cereus – Flame Cactus

The Cereus , also known as the Flame Cactus, is an impressive columnar cactus that owes its name to its flame-like appearance. With its robust and architectural growth, this cactus is a beautiful addition to any interior or garden. The Cereus originates from South America and is a real eye-catcher thanks to its stately shapes and beautiful green hues.

Why choose a Cereus?

The Cereus is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a strong and easy-care plant. Due to its ability to survive extreme drought, this cactus is perfect for people with little time for plant care. In addition, the Flame Cactus adds a unique accent to modern and minimalist interiors.

Caring for the Flame Cactus

• Location: Place the Cereus in a sunny spot with lots of direct light. It likes a warm and bright spot.

• Watering: Only water when the soil is completely dry. In summer you can water every 2-3 weeks, while in winter you hardly need to water at all.

• Temperature: The ideal temperature for the Cereus is between 18-30°C. Protect the plant from frost.

• Pot and soil: Use cactus soil with good drainage and a pot with holes so excess water can drain easily.

Decorative value

The Cereus has an impressive appearance due to its upright columns that can grow meters high, depending on the available space. This makes the Flame Cactus perfect for creating height and structure in your plant collection. Whether you are looking for a small houseplant or a large eye-catcher for the hall, the Cereus adapts to your wishes.

Safety tip

Be careful of the sharp spines of the Cereus when handling. Use gloves to protect your hands when repotting or moving the cactus.
