SELENICEREUS. The name means "Moon Cereus," 
are slender twining cacti which grow to considerable 
length. They flower at night and have the largest 
flowers of all cacti, some actually being fourteen inches

planted at the base of trees and will often grow to the 
tops. Indoors it is best to train the branches in and out 
of wooden standards. Give them a rich humus soil, 
fertilize and water freely during the growing season 
and the rapid growth will surprise you.
