Cereus Jamacaru "Cuddly Cactus" is a striking and distinctive species native to South America, particularly Brazil. Its common name derives from the soft, hair-like fluff where some plants of this species would normally have protective spines / thorns.

Most Cuddly Cactus plants are grown as a single stem, but they can branch with age or if you remove the top section of the plant. The stems often have five distinct ridges (sometimes only four or as many as six) that have scalloped-like waves on the edges.

GENERAL CARE TIPS

Because of its ridges, Cereus Jamacaru has a larger surface area and these ridges can shrivel and become thin when the plant is underwatered for an extended period (weeks or months of no water). You can mostly reverse this "damage". Water the plant well and over the next week it should plump back out again.
