Leptocereus nudiflorus
A rarely recorded Cuban Leptocereus, a member of a Caribbean genus of shrubby or tree-like cacti with slender, ribbed stems found in dry coastal scrub and limestone forest. Grow it warm all year, in bright light with some midday shade, in a free-draining mineral mix, and give it a drier winter.
Where it grows wild
Little is published on this species; Cuban Leptocereus typically grow in dry coastal thorn scrub and semideciduous forest on limestone or serpentine, often partly shaded by surrounding shrubs.
Few records carry an elevation; the hot measured climate suggests lowland or near-coastal sites.
