Its unique charm comes from the way it grows in clusters of small upright columns. This cactus has long been widely sold at home centers and garden shops under the catchphrase "the cactus that blocks electromagnetic waves" (though there's no scientific evidence for this). It's sometimes called the 'Yamacaru column' and thought to be related to C. jamacaru , but that's likely a misunderstanding—or maybe its origins just aren't clear. Scientifically, it's considered the same species as C. repandus , but for gardeners, it's treated as something different. The photo shows a variegated form known as 'Hime Yamacaru-chu Nishiki.'

Cereus peruvianus flower & new haircut ♂️ but before I can catch up on Twitter I have to garden because it’s cool but the ☀️ is out & will heat it up to 30°c/86°F, likely hotter. https://t.co/YgTBBjh71i
