Attention Gardeners, are you looking for a hardy plant that will make your garden stand out? Look no further than the Torch cactus, also known as Trichocereus grandiflorus (previously known as Echinopsis huascha) a vibrant hybrid of the Trichocereus genus! It is also known as the red torch cactus or the Desert blooming jewel, for its stunning floral display that blooms in midwinter when most other plants do not. 

Trichocereus grandiflorus is not the only visually appealing torch cactus; there is also, the silver torch cactus with its silver-grey cacti, the Bolivian Torch Cactus with brilliant flowers, the Golden Torch Cactus with a golden color, the Blue Torch Cactus with its tall columnar blue stems and spines. Regardless of their differences, all these torch cacti are eye-catching additions to any cactus collection.

This torch cactus can grow up to 2 feet tall and 12 inches wide at maturity, sprouting branches near its base it commands attention and admiration from all who lay eyes upon it. This columnar cactus has a bluish-green stem that is covered in numerous spines. 

Its striking funnel-shaped blooms are a sight to behold, painting the arid surroundings with bursts of fiery colors. While red is the most common hue for these floral gems, you may be lucky enough to stumble upon shades of light pink, yellow, or orange in certain pockets of their natural habitat. The Trichocereus grandiflorus is a very similar plant to the orchid cactus in terms of showy flowers.

These torch cacti are quite an awesome sight to behold with their brilliant flowers open on each stem. This torch cactus is not toxic to humans or pets.  It can be grown in containers and is often used as a focal point in a room or on a patio. 

Watering Needs

The torch cactus is a drought-tolerant plant that requires minimal watering. During its active growth of the growing season, which is typically from spring to fall, the Trichocereus grandiflorus can be watered once in 2-3 weeks or whenever the soil feels completely dry. It is important to avoid overwatering the torch cactus, as this can lead to root rot. In the winter months, when it is dormant, it can be watered even less frequently, as it is not actively growing. 

When watering the Trichocereus grandiflorus, it is important to use a well-draining soil mix and a pot with adequate drainage and holes. This will help prevent excess water from accumulating in the soil and causing root rot. Overall, the torch cactus is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal watering, making it a great choice for busy gardeners or those who live in dry climates. 

Light Requirements

The torch cactus requires bright full sunlight to thrive. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, but it is important to protect it from direct sunlight, especially during the hottest part of the day. If the Trichocereus cactus is exposed to too much direct sunlight, it can become sunburned and damaged. 

When grown indoors, Trichocerus grandiflorus can be placed a few feet away from a south-facing window that receives bright but indirect light. It is important to rotate them occasionally to ensure that all sides receive adequate bright light throughout. If it is not receiving enough bright light, it may become leggy and stretched out. If this occurs, the Trichocereus cactus can be moved to a location with brighter light or supplemented with artificial light. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The torch cactus requires a well-draining cactus soil mix that is specifically formulated for cacti. This type of soil mix typically contains a high proportion of sand or perlite, which helps to improve drainage and prevent water from accumulating around the roots. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized cactus potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your cactus to thrive. 

When it comes to fertilizing the Trichocereus grandiflorus, it is important to use a fertilizer that is specifically formulated for cacti. This type of fertilizer typically contains a high proportion of potassium and phosphorus, which can help to promote healthy growth and flowering. It is important to avoid using a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen, as this can cause the grandiflorus cactus to become leggy and stretched out. The torch cactus should be fertilized once a year during the growing season in the spring. 

Hardiness Zone & More

The torch cactus is a mild-frost hardy plant that can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. It is native to the Sonoran Desert, which has hot, dry summers and mild winters. It is hardy to USDA zones 8-11, which means it can tolerate temperatures as low as 15 F. However, it is important to protect your Trichocereus grandiflorus from prolonged frost, as this can cause damage or even kill the cactus. 

In terms of humidity, it prefers low humidity levels. It can tolerate dry air and is not prone to fungal diseases or other issues that can arise in humid environments. Overall, it is a hardy plant that can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels, making it a great choice for gardeners in a variety of climates. 

Give this Tricocereus grandiflorus - torch cactus a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

Review after a year of use
So i had this Vacuum for a little over a year, and i am happy with it, but in the past couple of months some issues showed up / or where kind of present the whole time because of how it works... - Its gonna find everything, and its gonna eat everything: Cables on Floors in general, behind couches, or behind sideboards, corners of lightweight carpets - gonna get stuck in the brush or robot looses contact to the floor with wheels (f.e. behind media sideboards)...you have to make sure nothing is on the floors where it could get stuck, even shoes are sometimes difficult for it. - Under Couch issue (all the time issue): the Lidar Sensor is on top of the robot (highest point) If you have a couch where the fabric underneath hangs a little down, the robot goes there but gets stuck because the Lidar sensor cant see anything, because the fabric hangs down on it. And im not talking ripped fabric - its just bulging down a little but thats enough in my case to cover the Sensor and its just sitting down there - spinning and turning, until i get under the couch and push the fabric up a little... - Battery Runtime (all the time issue): I have aprox. 1400sqft living space under AC - it needs up to 1-2 battery charges on "standard mode" to clean all floors 1x. - Corner or Edge Cleaning brush (showed up after aprox 11 months): starts to squeak sometimes really loud. Since i changed them regularly as recommended, i made sure its always clean beneath the brush and the mount, so no hair or any other debris down there. - It has problems with sliding doors (all the time issue): scans trough the doors and wants do go there but cant of course. You have to go into the app and draw a line close to sliding doors so it doesn't try to go there.... - Biggest inconvenience (showed up after 12 months): it happens to me almost every time after a clean, It drives back onto the base station - and it feels like the charging Pins either on the base or on the robot, lose contact, and the robot just discharges and next time you want to use it (f.e next day), its Batteries are empty, and you have to try turn it back on (with empty batteries) and wait for it to charge up. i cleaned both pins on the base station and the contact surfaces on the robot (no, no protective plastic strips on pins or contacts) but it doesn't really seem to help. - Sometimes the app / Robot looses Maps (sporadically): The first thing is a mapping. Robot drives around and scans the whole area - splits the map into different rooms. You can adjust this Rooms and "No go zones" via the app. Sometimes those maps inside the app go "bye bye" and you have to do it all over again. Other than that its a very nice robot and it does its thing.

App/Vacuum Loses maps after 3 months of use.
I'm hoping someone from Eufy is monitoring these reviews. We love...loved our Eufy. It works great. The mapping and map editing is so nice to be able to program the vacuum to clean different rooms each day. We love the self cleaning system that empties the Eufy after each use. We owned a Roomba a few years ago with the self empty option and it never worked. We had it replaced by Roomba twice and it still never worked. This one works exceptionally well. BUT here we are 3 months later and the app is losing the map. nearly every day, the system has to re-map our entire space. Yesterday, it had no map and went down the stairs. The unit is supposed to have a sensor to prevent it from going where there are drop offs but apparently this issue with the mapping is also showing up in the unit being unable to stay in the cleaning area. I'm hoping that someone from Eufy will reach out to help. Thanks,

Quiet, that's about the only good quality
UPDATE: Moving to 5 stars! Quickly after my 2 star review (below) the seller reached out and askked to exchange the defective product for an upgraded model at no cost to me. They were attentive and quick in responding, and I received a replacement version that also included the mopping functionality (The first didn't have this), and it works as expected. Customer service was too notch. I wouldn't hesitate to buy again. This is a lot quieter than my original Roomba, that is still running strong...but I wanted a 2nd robot vac so I could run one on the main floor and 2nd floor of my home. This one doesn't fit the bill, and I will be returning. I ran it while I was at home, and it stopped 4 times, telling me I needed to clean the brush. There was absolutely nothing bound on the brush any of the times. But had I not been home, it wouldn't have finished cleaning because it stops completely when it thinks there is hair. Then, another time, it just stopped running. It didn't say anything, so I don't know why it stopped. I assume it thought it was done, but the whole level of my home wasn't finished. This was all in just the one time I attempted to run it for 1 cycle. When I pushed the start button again, it said something to the effect of starting cleaning, so that's what makes me assume the last cycle was over. It does clean well, and is very quiet; however, it just stops for no reason far too often. I want it to run while I'm at the office, which obviously won't work if I have to be here babysitting it for the imaginary dirt on the brush. This will unfortunately be getting returned. I think I'll stick to the Roomba brand, as I have far less issues with my 10+ year old vac than this new one with all the nice features.

Decent robot vacuum, but struggles with dog hair
The setup was straightforward and the self-empty station is a nice feature. It navigates the house fairly well and does a decent job picking up everyday dust and debris on hard floors. Where it struggles is with dog hair. With a shedding dog in the house, I noticed it tends to leave behind quite a bit of hair, especially along edges and in areas where it tends to accumulate. It works better for lighter debris but doesn’t seem powerful enough to keep up with heavier pet hair. Pros: Easy setup and app integration Self-empty station is convenient Navigates rooms fairly well Cons: Struggles with dog hair Not as strong as expected for pet households Bottom Line: This vacuum works fine for general cleaning and light debris, but if you have a dog that sheds a lot, it may not keep up as well as expected. For pet owners specifically, it might not be the best fit.

Very Disappointed with this Vacuum
After having a Shark Robot Vacuum for many years, my husband decided to upgrade to newer technology (easier boundary settings, better mapping etc) On a good note, when this thing works - it works great. One of my biggest complaints with the Shark was I had to put physical boundary strips at the top of the stairs etc. This Eufy is very easy to set "no go zones" on the app, works famously in that aspect. This vac also seems to "work" in a more organized manner. I can see on the app exactly what was cleaned after every scheduled cleaning etc. The Shark would just buzz around the house all willy nilly, but this Eufy seems to be very organized in the cleaning, not missing anywhere. Now for the most aggravating part. I have my Eufy scheduled to clean every night @ 1:00 am, while we are sleeping. Most nights @ 1:15 am I get a notification on my phone "Roller Brush Stuck". Well obviously I don't see the notification until morning. I go "find" Eufy (which is easy with the app - shows you right where she is - another nice thing compared to the Shark) Pull the Roller Brush, which mind you, nothing is wrong with, it is not stuck, there is nothing wrapped around it etc. Put it back in & restart. This has done this since day one, brand new out of the box. After doing some scouring of the Internet, I see that this is a big complaint with many other owners of this model. From what I gather, Eufy is aware of this and it is a known problem. I called Eufy Customer Care after about using this for one week. The phone call lasted over 45 minutes (part of my life that I will never get back!) Now mind you, the representative was very helpful & thorough. We walked through a couple procedures, (The Rep had me pull the roller brush etc & report to her what I was "seeing") Which again, I had performed everything the Rep had me do religiously for the past week, but No, she like wouldn't take my word for it, I had to do all this again while on the phone with her - - almost like she didn't believe me at first. Next, the Rep offered to send me a "newer design roller brush" Ok, cool, if it solves the problem let's do it - I just wanted to get off the phone & on with my day. Oh wait, there are no new design roller brushes in stock. Now I'm told to send just the robot back (not the dock) I told the Rep to send me a call tag, as I wasn't going to pay shipping on a "brand new used one week" item. Oh wait, now she has located the replacement roller brushes. So here we are back to the original solution, she will send me a replacement roller brush. Took my name, my address, phone number, name of first & last born children etc. Just a long drawn out process to send me the "fix" for their known manufacture problem. So to make my long story even longer, here I sit a month and a 1/2 later without ever receiving the replacement brush and an unreliable product who doesn't complete her "mission" most nights. I wish this vacuum was still within the 30 day Amazon return period, because I would have sent it back after experiencing this defect. However my husband had bought this for me for Christmas (before the date that Amazon offers their extended holiday returns window) I didn't even unbox this vacuum before the 30 days were up. The App with the mapping & the expansive scheduling options is great compared to the Shark, but I bought the Eufy to vacuum, which she fails @ nightly.
