The ‘Cereus’ Genus Cacti Children of the Cactaceae family, Cereus cacti are one of the most popular genera of succulents known to man. The name comes from Cereus, meaning a candle or a torch. The cereus species are known for their columnar, treelike stems – justifying their etymology. The wonderful thing about these cacti is that they are night bloomers. Other remarkable features include stubby and stout spines, large and fragrant white flowers, and pronounced ribs. Even their fruits are large, fleshy, tube-like, and hairless.
