Cereus peruvianus Spiralis is one of those plants that stops people in their tracks. Instead of growing straight like the classic Peruvian Apple Cactus, this rare spiral form twists dramatically as it rises, creating a sculptural, corkscrew column unlike anything else in the cactus world. 
 
Each plant develops its own unique spiral pattern, tight, loose, clockwise, or counterclockwise, making every seed-grown specimen truly one-of-a-kind. The blue-green ribs, glowing spines, and hypnotic swirl effect turn even a small seedling into a conversation piece. This species is tough, drought tolerant, and surprisingly fast-growing for a cactus. Whether you’re a collector or just want a cactus with serious personality, Spiralis brings instant magic and a bit of mystery to any indoor or outdoor desert garden.
