Pilosocereus glaucochrous or maybe lanuginosus - or Torch Cactus

Native to south America, Brazil

• Sunlight: Give them full sun to bright, direct light. More sun keeps their color vibrant and helps trigger blooms. [1, 2, 3]
• Watering: Water deeply, then let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Cut back or stop watering almost entirely during winter dormancy. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Soil and Drainage: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent mix inside a pot with drainage holes. [1, 2, 3]
• Temperature: Most torch cacti love warm weather, though hardiness varies—some types like the Silver Torch tolerate freezing or sub-freezing temperatures if kept completely dry. [1, 2, 3]
• Fertilizer: Feed sparingly with a diluted, low-nitrogen cactus fertilizer during the spring and summer growth seasons. [1]
