- These are mostly 34 month-old, seed-grown Pilosocereus in Tent 1. Moving them into 1gal pots a section at a time has spurred them to gain height and thickness fast. I'm not too far away from a walk-in forest of tree and shrub cacti. Lots of cool stuff going on at Cactus Island - www.cactusislandacres.com
Your Pilos cactuses look like mini- skyscrapers! :) #Cactus_Skyline
Wow! What a beautiful collection! I noticed you keep your cacti under cover...I was wondering if keeping a pilosocereus in a pot with cactus soil exposed to the weather in central florida will cause it to rot from too much moisture? I read that they shouldn't even get watered in the winter. Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you, Michael! The genus actually does really well here outdoors in the warm season. From March to late November I keep them outside. Even south of Fort Myers they did well in half-mineral mix beds for years, where even in winter I hit them with the hose once a month. I water them once a week in tents during summer. The P. albisummus were outside all summer even with a solid and scary month plus of rain days. My soil mix is on the website blog side bar menu, and I recommend using Eco-Complete black lava plus some fine pea gravel for ballast, drainage.
I got mine today! So happy! Can you give me some advice regarding the soil mix? Thank you!
Visit my above website to see the left side bar menu for soil mix I use to grow these large.
@@cactusislandnurseryflorida : Thanks a lot! We do appreciate your willigness to share your knowledge with the world! This makes this hobby - caring for Cactuses even more enjoyable! Cheers!
Which of the pilo cactus is the bluest?
Many are extremely blue and the shade or intensity depends on growing conditions. Too variable to really say.

Can’t hear you
Beautiful, do you have any magnificus, azulensis or purpureus?
I don't, sorry. Check out P. purpusii online (purpureus is a misleading old trade name for some variety of P. pachycladus).
@@cactusislandnurseryflorida great, thank you. I think it's the azureus that's a synonym for the pachycladus.
Edit, thanks been looking for the one being called purpureus but seems to be only available as seed. I'll check that one you mentioned out :)
@@cactusislandnurseryflorida o that's one thing that's problematic when you're looking for one but there's so many synonyms. And so many probably misleading ads recycling pictures when you look at them for sale online.
