Pilosocereus Piauhyensis

You will get a plant 25″ or taller.  Pilosocereus piauhyensis is a turquoise green columnar cactus from Eastern Brazil.  It is uncommon in cultivation and different from P. gaturianensis which is often shown as P. piauhyensis online.

Caring for Pilosocereus piauhyensis cactus is straightforward. Plant it in well-draining soil and ensure it receives plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Water the cactus sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

During the growing season (spring and summer), provide a balanced cactus fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. Protect it from cold temperatures, as it is not frost-resistant. Pruning isn’t usually necessary, but remove any dead or damaged growth as needed.

Watch for common pests like scale insects; treat them with organic pest control methods. With these steps, your Pilosocereus piauhyensis will thrive and display its unique beauty in your collection.
