XYZ cereus ID?

Post by AnTTun »

This one grew from a grafting stock. I have a thing for blue plants so I've cut it off and rooted when it was small. It has 5 ribs and spination as shown. Any ideas what it could be?

I believe this to be Cereus aethiops

Maybe there is more than one form of C. aethiops, but it doesn't look much like the ones I saw in habitat in Argentina - the spines are too weak.

Does resemble aethiops but I agree the spines look a bit small. What about Cereus forbesii?
