The Peruvian cactus is tall, striking, and truly special. With its beautiful blue-green columnar stems and magical night-blooming flowers, this desert beauty has been winning the hearts of plant lovers since it first made its way from South America.

This stunning flowering cactus isn't hallucinogenic (a mix-up we often hear about!), but it does offer something even better - colorful, edible fruits that taste like a delightful blend of kiwi and dragon fruit. The Peruvian cactus is wonderfully forgiving if you sometimes forget to water it, making it perfect for busy plant parents. With a steady Peruvian apple cactus growth rate of 1-2 feet per year, it'll gradually grow into an impressive 8-foot indoor statement piece that brings a touch of desert magic into your home.

Care:

What lighting does a Peruvian cactus need?

Your Peruvian cactus loves sunshine! It needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to really thrive. Try placing it near a south-facing window where it can soak up plenty of bright light. This flowering cactus really comes into its own when it gets all the sunshine it craves.

What temperature do apple cactus like?

The Peruvian apple cactus is happiest in temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C to 29°C). While it can handle brief cold spells down to about 25°F, try to keep its environment warm and consistent. Your plant will reward you with healthy growth and maybe even those spectacular night blooms that make it so special!

How often do you water a Peruvian cactus?

Only water your Peruvian cactus when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel completely dry if you poke your finger in a few different spots. This is much more reliable than sticking to a calendar schedule. 

During spring and summer (its growing season), your plant will be thirstier and need deeper drinks, while in winter, it'll need much less water as it takes a little rest. Like all desert plants, it's adapted to go periods without water, so it's better to underwater than overwater.

Do you need to fertilize a Peruvian apple cactus?

Yes, but just a little! Feed it during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20) diluted to half-strength. In winter, let it rest completely without any fertilizer as your Peruvian apple cactus takes its natural break. Working with its natural rhythm helps keep your plant happy and healthy.

How big do Peruvian Apple Cactus get?

Outdoors, these impressive plants can grow to an amazing 20-30 feet tall! Indoors, they're a bit more modest, typically reaching up to 8 feet. Either way, your Peruvian cactus makes a wonderful statement piece that adds height and character to any space. If you're looking for a plant with presence, you've found it!

How long do Peruvian Apple Cactus live?

With good care, your Peruvian apple cactus can be your plant companion for 20-30 years on average. Some special ones have even reached 50-80 years! This makes them a wonderful long-term addition to your home, growing alongside you through the years with relatively little fuss.

How do I get my Peruvian Apple Cactus to bloom?

To coax those magical night-blooming flowers, give your plant plenty of direct sunlight, keep temperatures warm, and fertilize gently during growing season. Be patient though—your cactus needs time to mature (often several years) and needs to experience a cool, dry winter period to trigger flowering. Trust us, the wait is so worth it! The fragrant white flowers open at night and usually last just until morning—it's a rare and truly special experience.

Does Peruvian Apple Cactus have thorns?

Yes, it does have spines along its ribbed stems. These natural defenses protect the plant in the wild (and remind us to be careful when handling at home). It's best to place your Peruvian cactus where you won't accidentally bump into it, especially in homes with little ones running around.

Pet friendly?

The Peruvian Cactus isn’t toxic to your pets, but the spines can be a serious hazard if your furry friends get too close. Best to place it somewhere they can’t reach. 

Is the Peruvian cactus safe for dogs?

The Peruvian apple cactus isn't toxic to dogs, but those spines can be an issue. It's best to keep curious pups at a safe distance to avoid any ouchy encounters. Think about placing your plant on a higher shelf or in a room where your four-legged friend doesn't usually roam.

Is the Peruvian cactus poisonous to cats?

Good news for cat lovers! The Peruvian apple cactus isn't poisonous to your feline friends. But just like with dogs, those spines can hurt curious cats who might paw or nibble at them. Try to place your plant somewhere your kitty can't reach to keep both your plant and pet happy and safe.

Factoids

What makes the night-blooming cactus special?

The night-blooming Peruvian cactus puts on one of nature's most magical shows. Its large, sweet-smelling white flowers open after sunset, attracting moths and bats as pollinators in the wild. Each bloom typically lasts just one night, making each flowering a rare treat worth staying up for. It's like nature's way of rewarding night owls!

How can you encourage the Peruvian cactus to bloom?

To help your Peruvian cactus bloom, give it consistent care with plenty of sunlight and proper watering. The most important thing is to let it have a cool, dry rest period during winter. Mature plants (usually several years old) are more likely to flower, so patience really pays off with this flowering cactus. Creating the right conditions helps your plant feel safe enough to share its gorgeous blooms with you.

How long does the night-blooming cactus flower last?

These spectacular flowers are nature's shooting stars—typically blooming for just one night! They open after sunset and close by the next morning, giving us just a brief window to enjoy their beauty. If you miss seeing one bloom, don't worry—there will be more chances as your plant matures. You might want to set a phone reminder when you notice a bud forming so you don't miss the show!

What's the difference between a Peruvian cactus and a night-blooming cereus?

While both create gorgeous night-blooming flowers, the Peruvian apple cactus (Cereus repandus) grows tall and column-like, thriving in desert conditions. The night-blooming cereus (Epiphyllum oxypetalum) has flat, leaf-like stems that can trail or climb, and prefers more tropical environments. Think of them as cousins who both love the nightlife but have adapted to very different homes!

Can you eat the Peruvian apple cactus fruit or is it poisonous?

The fruit is completely safe and actually delicious! These colorful "apples" are not only edible but packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. It's a sweet, unexpected bonus from your beautiful houseplant that you can enjoy with complete peace of mind.

Can you eat cactus fruit raw?

Absolutely! The fruit is best enjoyed raw, much like you'd eat kiwi or dragon fruit. Just slice it open and scoop out the refreshing flesh—no cooking needed for this natural treat. It's like getting a little thank-you gift from your plant!

Does Peruvian Apple Cactus taste good?

The Peruvian apple cactus has a lovely mild sweetness and refreshing flavor that most people really enjoy. If you like dragon fruit or kiwi, you'll probably love this desert treat too. It's nature's way of giving us a taste of its native habitat!

What flavor is Peruvian Apple Cactus?

People often describe the flavor as a wonderful mix of kiwi and dragon fruit—mildly sweet with refreshing, subtle notes. The Peruvian apple cactus fruit offers a unique taste that connects you directly to the plant's South American heritage.

What are the benefits of Peruvian Apple Cactus fruit?

Beyond tasting great, the fruit is full of antioxidants, vitamins, and dietary fiber. It's a nutritious snack that satisfies your sweet tooth while actually being good for you! We love plants that multitask by being both beautiful and nourishing.

Is Peruvian Apple Cactus hallucinogenic?

No, the Peruvian apple cactus is definitely NOT hallucinogenic. People sometimes mix it up with the San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi), which does contain psychoactive compounds. Your Peruvian apple cactus is prized for its beauty and fruit, not for any mind-altering effects!

What is the Peruvian apple cactus growth rate?

Your Peruvian apple cactus grows at a steady pace, typically adding 1-2 feet each year when conditions are right. This gradual growth means you can enjoy watching it develop over time, becoming more impressive with each passing season. There's something really special about nurturing a plant and seeing it mature year after year.

Where does the Peruvian apple cactus come from?

Just as its name suggests, the Peruvian apple cactus is native to the dry regions of South America, particularly Peru, Brazil, and Argentina. These plants evolved in challenging desert conditions, which explains why they're so resilient and drought-tolerant in our homes. Their ability to thrive in tough environments makes them wonderfully adaptable houseplants for us!

A Game Changing Book For Entrepreneurs
Format: Hardcover
10X Rule Book Review Grant Cardone writes a game changing book, this book is great for entrepreneurs and sales teams. The book talks about talking massive actions, aligning your goals with other goals. It is a highly motivational book and I would recommend anyone reading this to read it like a text book. Reading once through is not good enough. I see a possible book sequel with proper in-depth tools and tips. The 10X Rule book talks about: 1. The 10X Rule § You must set targets that are 10 X what you think it will take to accomplish. § Massive thoughts are followed by taking massive actions, operating at 10X levels. Grant Cardone says that people generally do not take enough action, let alone massive actions. People are generally setting targets that are too low and not exciting, spending time competing and not dominating. 10X rule says do 10 actions and set targets 10 times higher than you first imagine. 2. Why the 10X Rule Is Vital § Never reduce a target. Instead, increase actions. § Any target attacked with the right actions in the right amounts with persistence is attainable. Grant talks about the more actions you take, the better chances of you getting "lucky". 3. What is Success? Success is important. If you quit caring, then you quit winning; quit winning long enough, and you will just plain quit. 4. Success is your duty. You must constantly demand success as your duty, obligation, and responsibility. 5. There is no shortage of success. You must rid yourself of the concept of success can be restricted in any way. Operating under this notion will hurt your ability to create success for yourself. Being dependent on only a single thing or person for success will limit your chances of achievement. 6. Assume control for everything Successful people accept very high levels of accountability for creating and having success for themselves and even for failing to do so. Successful people hate the blame game and know that it is better to make something happen good or bad than to have it happen to you. In other words be proactive and not reactive. Anyone who uses blame as the reason why something happened or did not happen will never accumulate real success in life and only further his or her status as a slave. To get where you want in life, you must adopt the view that whatever is going on in your world (good, bad or nothing) is something caused by you. 7. Four degrees of action § Do nothing § Retreat § Take normal levels of action § Take massive action. Massive action is actually the level of action that creates new problems. Until you create problems, you're not truly operating at the forth stage of action. 8. Average is a failing formula The addiction to average can kill the possibility of making your dreams a reality. Operating at average levels doesn't work in any area of life. Most businesses fail because they are unable to sell their ideas, products, and services at prices high enough to sustain the company and fund its activities. The company isn't able to collect revenue in quantities great enough because the people with whom the company has been built - employees, customers, and vendors - also take only average amounts of action. 9. 10X Goals Here is what Grant describes as the method of setting 10X goals: § Set 10X targets § Align them with your other purposes § Write them down everyday: when you wake up and before you go to sleep. We have been warned against setting goals "too high". The reality of that if you start small, you are probably going to go small. Many people bail out of projects when they experience any kind of resistance; their goals are not big enough. Grant talks about the importance of aligning goals to other goals to fuel will power, energy and dreams. Grant talks about never set small, attainable realistic goals , instead set unrealistic goals. 10. Competition is for sisses Grant talks about never make it your goal to compete. Instead, do everything you can to dominate your sector. This means doing things that your competitor refuses to do. 11. Breaking out of the middle class Grant warns about the middle class being the most suppressed, restricted, and confused socioeconomic demographic in the world. Those who desire to be a part of this is compelled to think and act in a certain way where "just enough" is good enough and a reward. The idea that one would only have enough to be "comfortable" or "adequately satisfied" is a concept has been sold by politicians, media, educational system to inspire entire population "to settle" instead of striving for abundance. 12. Obession isn't a disease. It's a gift. Most people make only enough effort for it to feel like work, whereas the most successful follow up every action with an obsession to see it through to a reward. It is vital to go for a bigger goal if you wish to see 10X results. 13. Go "All In" And Overcommit" Grant talks about overcommitting your energy, resources, creativity, and persistence. Know that you are "all in" on that particular activity, everytime you take action everyday you are in business. 14. Expand, Never Contract Contracting is a form of retreating, it violates the concept of the 10X rule. You have to take massive action. 15. Burn the place down Once you take the 10X actions, don't stop, keep the momentum going. Grant talks about the importance of staying committed. 16. Fear is the great indicator Fear means you are doing what's needed to move in the right direction. Without "fear", it means you are only doing what's comfortable for you now. 17. The myth of time management Grant talks about jotting down your time-wasting activities. Most people work just enough to make it feel like work, whereas successful people work at a pace that gets satisfying results that work is a reward. 18. Criticism is sign of success Criticism precedes admiration, goes hand in hand with success. 19. Customer satisfaction is the wrong target Customer satisfaction is the wrong target, increasing customers is the right target. You will first have to get the customer first and satisfy him/her later. That means, you have to increase sale. 20. Omnipresence Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Visa, American Express are some companies that you see everywhere. It is vital to be omnipresent in your industry if you wish to stay ahead. 21. Excuses Excuses are never the reason for why you did or didn't do something. They are just a revision of facts that you make up in order to help yourself feel better about what happened (or didn't). 22. Successful or Unsuccessful? Grant talks about a list of things successful people do: § Have a "Can Do" Attitude § Believe that "I Will Figure It Out" § Focus on Opportunity § Love challenges § Seek to solve problems § Persist until successful § Take risks § Be unreasonable § Be dangerous § Create Wealth § Readily take action § Always say "yes" § Habitually commit § Go all the away § Focus on "Now" § Demonstrate courage § Embrace change § Determine and take the right approach § Break traditional ideas § Be goal oriented § Be on a mission § Have a high level of motivation § Be interested in results § Have big goals and dreams § Create your own reality § Commit first - figure out later § Be highly ethical § Be interested in the group § Be dedicated to continuous learning § Be uncomfortable § "Reach Up" in Relationships § Be disciplined, create successful habits 23. Getting Started With 10X Grant talks about § Not reduce your goals as you write them. § Do not get lost in the details § Ask yourself "What can I do today to move me forward towards these goals?" § Take whatever actions you come up with, regardless of what they are or how you feel § Do not prematurely value the outcome of your actions § Go back each day to review the list

Book Review of The Alchemist
Format: Paperback
In The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho uses diction, syntax, and the hero cycle to keep the pace of the book constant, and keep the reader intrigued. But, he does have a few flaws present in the book. The Alchemist is a book about a boy named Santiago, who goes on an adventure to find his “Personal Legend” or treasure. Coelho uses the hero cycle to add more emphasis on the plot, which overall makes the story more entertaining. In the story, the Old King tells Santiago that “when someone wants to realize his or her Personal Legend,” he will “always [be] nearby.” (67) This is an example of atonement with the father, because the Old King’s closeness creates a father like figure in him, who is there to support Santiago. The hero cycle for me made the story more enjoyable and kept me reading. Also most of the book is him trying to obtain his Personal Legend, which is “what you have always wanted to accomplish.” (23) Compared to other books I have read this year in my English class, this one was easier to follow in terms of diction. The language that Paulo Coelho uses in the novel overall is not too difficult to understand. Word choice is done very well, and lets the reader flow through the book at a constant pace. The diction also makes the book a novel for a wide range of readers. The hero cycle with the clean diction made the story very enjoyable. While reading this book, I found that it was fairly easy to understand the passage, and that it was very inviting. Paulo Coelho structures the syntax of the book in an easy-to-understand format. Throughout the book, the syntax helps the reader understand where they are on the page, and it also positively affects the pace set by the diction in the book. Towards the middle of the novel, the boy says that “An army is coming,” and he knows because he “had a vision.” This dialogue is quickly followed up by a response from a camel driver, saying that “the desert fills men’s hearts with visions.” (104) The quick pace of dialogue keeps the book driving keeps the pace constantly in motion. The syntax made it easier for me to follow the story and follow which character was speaking and what they where feeling or doing. Even though I enjoyed a great bit of the book, there was still another bit that I didn’t fully enjoy. At the beginning of the Alchemist, the book seems to go a slower speed then the rest of it. The first portion of the book has a lot to do with introducing Santiago, the plot, the setting, and more. There is a part in the story where it goes from page 35 to page 38 with very little dialogue, which I felt stopped progress of the story. The first part also has to do a lot with how he discovers his Personal Legend. It took me a little while longer to read the first part of the book then the rest because I was mostly bored while reading it. I also felt that there was more descriptive text than the rest of the book, which really dragged out the first part. In conclusion, the book has lots of great traits and only a few bad ones. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend or anyone who enjoys reading about adventure.

One Of The Most Important Books Ever Written
Format: Paperback
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is in my opinion, one of the most important books ever written. It's no wonder that it's one of the best-selling books of all time with more than 150 million copies sold. Those numbers are in spite of and defiance to the author's encouragement to file share his now legendary novel. But sales statistics are not the criterion on which I stake this claim. It is the impact on the lives of those that have read it, and the impact on the lives that have not yet been born, that I boldly state the above. The simplicity of its unfoldment may at first belie the depth of its wisdom. But the simplicity is part of the profundity that allows the reader to assimilate the messages without resistance. The first time I read The Alchemist;, I read it cover to cover in one sitting. No bathroom break, no cup of water pause, no telephone distractions. I read it from the first word to the last in what seemed like a single breath. I simply couldn't put it down. I was swept, swung, and swallowed up by this extraordinary narrative. The result was transformation. I was not the same man that began reading the novel by the time I finished it. I would thereafter read it again and again. The messages are so layered that with every new pass comes new understanding and enlightenment. At the core of the novel is the fulfillment of one’s destiny. There is a force in the Soul of the World that wants us all to live out our personal legend. When we truly desire something, the entire Universe conspires to help us achieve it. With love, all things are possible. With love, we can perform miracles. These themes are artfully integrated and clothed within a modern day fable. They come in varying iterations from a string of colorful characters that propel the protagonist towards a profound and satisfying ending. The Alchemist is the story of Santiago, a shepherd boy from Spain that crosses the desert of Africa in search of a hidden treasure. It was revealed to him in a reoccurring dream that the treasure is buried by the Ancient Pyramids in Egypt. What he naively believes will take three weeks to complete becomes a journey that expands nearly three years. After miles of traveling through the desert, the boy arrives at an oasis where he falls in love with a beautiful desert woman named Fatima. The boy is willing to abandon his dream of finding his treasure for the procurement of her love. But one night, beneath the light of a full moon, he meets a man straddled upon a mighty horse. This elusive man is known in legend and folklore as The Alchemist. The Alchemist is a man imbued with profound wisdom and mystical powers. He is reportedly over 300-years-old and can turn lead into gold. He reminds the boy that his destiny is to find the treasure. That he must continue. If it is true love, Fatima will be waiting for him after his destiny is fulfilled. Reluctantly, the boy continues his journey deeper into the desert accompanied by The Alchemist. But the desert is at war, and they are soon captured by Bedouin sentinels and accused of spying for the enemy. For this crime, they are sentenced to death. The Alchemist saves them temporarily by proclaiming that the boy is an Alchemist. He tells the general that if he wanted to, the boy could turn himself into the wind and destroy their entire camp. The general is intrigued! He wants to see this happen. He promises to spare their lives if it is done. He grants them three days. But how does a shepherd boy from Spain turn himself into the wind? Paulo Coelho says that he wrote “The Alchemist” in two weeks. It is almost hard to imagine that something so far-reaching could have been conjured up in two weeks time. He said it was his own journey that he was writing down, parabolically speaking. The impact of “The Alchemist” comes from the realization that Santiago’s journey is Everyman’s journey. His story is our story. If we tap into the Soul of the World and dare to live out our destiny, we will discover that within us all is The Alchemist.
