Samaipaticereus corroanus is a tree-like, columnar cactus from Bolivia and Peru, reaching 2 to 4 metres with long green upright shoots. Grow it as a sunny, well-drained succulent in a warm, frost-free climate.
Samaipaticereus corroanus is a species of cactus in the subtribe Trichocereinae, native to Bolivia and Peru. Along with Cleistocactus inquisivensis, Cleistocactus corroanus has been placed in the genus Samaipaticereus. A 2023 molecular phylogenetic study led to Cleistocactus being expanded to include Samaipaticereus, among other genera. The expansion is accepted by Plants of the World Online as of March 2025.
Samaipaticereus corroanus is distributed in Peru (Cuzco) and eastern Bolivia.
