Browningia hertlingiana EL7 - Blue Cereus

Browningia hertlingiana—also called the “Blue Cereus”—is a majestic, tree-like columnar cactus featuring striking glaucous blue-green stems with dramatic gold-tipped spines. In its natural Peruvian habitat, it can grow impressively tall, reaching 5–8 meters with trunks up to 1 meter high and stems around 30 cm in diameter. It thrives under full, direct sun, which enhances its vivid blue coloration, and prefers rich, well-draining, gritty soil to prevent rot in humid conditions. Exceptionally drought-tolerant and adapted to arid, high-altitude climes, it also shows moderate frost hardiness down to about −5 °C (~23 °F) when kept dry.This Peruvian native is  highly sought after by collectors because it is one of the few truly blue cacti. With minimal care and striking architectural presence, this slow-growing cactus brings dramatic height, texture, and exotic elegance to outdoor gardens, large containers, or statement plant collections.
