I have a quick question. Are Cereus Repandus and cereus Pervuvianus basically the same cacti? I have both and they are completely different from each other. All of the cereus repandus I've seen have a more of a bright green color to them as opposed to the Peruvianus that has a much more dark green color to them. I know the Repandus has 5 ribs as opposed to the Peruvianus that has 6. One of the offsets from my Repandus has 6 ribs.
Thanks in advance

Re: Cereus Repandus
CactiGuide has an article that explains it: http://cactiguide.com/article/?article=article3.php
The number of ribs is variable. I had a peruvianus that had 5 ribs when I bought it as a small seedling, changed to 4 when it was about 6 inches tall.
