Gita........where art thou? You gave this beauty to me. Look at your baby now. Look closely in the left edge of the plant for a smooth projectile like growth and for two more much easier to see coming off the leaves in the center of the plant. In the bottom of the plant there are leaves forming out and away from older leaves. This has been the norm.

Now what are these smooth projectile like growths? Are we getting ready to bloom? I see no bud development as of this date.

I could not search to find the Cereus thread because the search engine is down.

Anyone who knows this great plant will be appreciated much if you can help me understand this critter.

I read somewhere that Cereus likes a mildly acid soil. Just before Christmas I fed this honey a bit of an acid fertilizer and stepped back. You can see the results. Hopefully someone will explain...................what is in fact going on right now.
