Browningia viridis
F. buxbaum 1965

Etymology: It means green in Latin.
Place of Origin: Arid zones of northern Peru.

It can reach several meters in height and features clearly defined ribs. It stands out for its characteristic light green color and its fine but numerous spines on each areole. It shows a marked difference between the juvenile and adult phases. Although it originates from arid regions, in cultivation it tolerates prolonged lack of watering poorly. It requires well-drained soil and some protection from extreme summer sun exposure to avoid stress and dehydration.
