There is a beautiful large cactus outdoors in my complex that I'm speaking with the owner about possibly purchasing (it's been passed on between tenants for years). While it's outdoors in a courtyard, it's against a wall that leaves it mostly exposed to the north with only a little direct sunlight in the morning/late afternoon. I'd like to bring it indoor to my place that has both a large north-facing floor-level window and I'd put it underneath a north-facing clerestory window that is ~10 feet in the air. I have two questions:
1) Does anyone know what kind of cactus this is? Peruvian Torch?
2) Does anyone have any thoughts on if the cactus stands a chance with mostly likely only indirect light in Oakland, CA?
