Help me identify this plant please 💚 I am stuck, lol. I think it’s a type of Cereus cactus, just can’t figure out which kind.🧐 Anyone’s help would be highly appreciated! 🥰😘💚🌵💚 •10.21.19• #plantleydi #cacti #cactuslove #cereus 🔉 UPDATE 🔉 Found plant ID’d as Cereus ‘Wild Crest’ 😋🥳 •12.2.19• #cereus-wildcrest #cereuswildcrest
@angiie I think it is a mini variety of what you said. I know it looks to be a mini itself but there seems to be 2 sizes of it, and some are labeled “curiosity plant mini” The only differences I’m seeing is the space between the branches, the mini’s seem to grow more densely. The tips look the same.
Omg Ang that’s exactly what I thought too!!! Until I saw a pic on here with the spines being a little bit longer? And then I lost all hope again lmao 🤦🏻♀️
Yes! @heelerpup I think you and @angiie are right on the money. Everywhere I have looked is named Cereus Peruvianus, yet all the images look so different 🙄 lol
Their spines I think are very fragile and hair like, easily dislodged by even the wind. I also wonder if spine growth is dependent on certain conditions. My Cereus Forbesii Monstrose put out very few spines this year, and fewer stayed on. However, a type of wasp nibbled along it’s edges, so that may be where some went.
😂😂 I’m taking a trip to the garden center and hopefully I see it tagged something other than “decorative flower” 🙄😒🤦🏻♀️😂 @angiie I appreciate you guys!!! 🥰😘😘😘 @heelerpup @ElieM I didn’t think it was that because my Cereus forbesii monstrose looks so different next to this one..🤨🤦🏻♀️
@angiie @plantobsessions So... I have weird and bad news. Doing digging into .gov, USDA, and university info sources, I’ve learned lots of things that only open more questions. The biggest revelation is that Cereus Peruvianus monstrose is not likely to be ANY of these plants that we get, as it is a 20ft tall fruiting cactus in the group of “apple cacti”. They look vastly different. (cont. in next comment)
Something else on a somewhat related note, is that Cereus Forbesii, monstrose or not, isn’t an officially recognized name for any cactus. It’s a synonym for cereus repandus, but that’s where the trail goes cold and blurry. There seems to be a large consensus that the “ming things” and these types of Cereus are largely unidentified, and mislabeled. 😣 So now I’m unsure of how to ID yours, and unsure of my own Forbesii. 🥺
Wow 😳 @heelerpup now that’s some research, haha. Thank you for sharing all this light on these cactuses! The mislabeling has my OCD like 🤯😭🤣🤣 I’m just going to ID this one as ‘Cereus’ 😒😂 @angiie I adore you guys, thank you times a million for always helping out! 🥰😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The mislabeling is crazy isn’t it? 👺I mean, I can’t sell you an oven advertised as washing machine, I can’t sell you a piranha that’s actually a goldfish, nor could I sell you Xanax disguised as allergy medicine, those would all be one crime or another. Why are plants any different? 🙈😂
