Returns Simplified.Beginning life as a rounded, deeply ridged specimen, Oroya peruviana will eventually form a 12-inch column of contrasting color and texture. The rich green stems are highlighted by uniquely oblong areoles, from which flattened yellow spines emerge in an almost spider-like pattern. In the bright sunlight that it prefers, this variety appears to almost glow from within!
Full sunlight is the key to success with the typically solitary Oroya peruviana, encouraging not only ample growth but also copious petite, pink blooms during the spring and summer months. Beyond this, its needs are simple, and largely boil down to a porous soil mixture within a well-draining pot, plenty of airflow around the stem and soil surface, and a thorough yet infrequent watering routine.
Hardy only to Zone 9, it is important to protect Oroya peruviana from hard frosts, which could otherwise cause permanent damage to the water-rich stem.
