The cereus cactus blooms at night
The blossom of the cactus opens at night
The flowering of the column cactus rarely happens to the normal garden friend. In indoor culture, the cactus almost never blooms. But once you've made it bloom, you can only enjoy the beautiful view at night.
Cereus cactus only blooms at night
Depending on the variety, the columnar cactus develops beautiful, often very large, even fragrant flowers, under ideal conditions of site and care. Unfortunately, in the room the optimal conditions can rarely be reached, so that the flowering almost always fails.
But once the cactus blooms, you have to lay in wait at night to enjoy the beauty of the flower.
It only opens at night and closes again at first light.
Tips
Like almost all types of cactus, the cactus is not hardy. It should never be cooler than five degrees at the site. In winter, the Cereus needs a rest, if he is to develop flowers.
