damn, I wish I could take it for you. I have a Cereus myself I've had for
almost 20 years. It and the pot weighs about 150 pounds or so, I drag it
outside every spring after frost is over, and back inside just before first
frost kisses it. It blooms for me in the evenings somewhere around August or
September, depending on it's "mood". Mine is about 6-7 foot tall only
because I won't let the arms grow too tall. One year it grew me an arm that
put it at 10 foot 11 3/4 inches and I had 9 foot ceilings at the time.
That's when I learned to cut the arms off, cure them and put them back into
the pot with their mom plant. you could always let me baby sit it g

ceilings, so it has got to go

does it have any great value to maybe a restaurant
or ? any ideas of $
