Cleistocactus strausii
As a houseplant, the Silver Torch cactus is an easy to take care of so long as over-watering is avoided. To naturally simulate the porous effects of the sand in its native habitat, it's important to ensure that excess water will not pool in the soil, causing the roots to become water logged.
This plant’s native habitat does not have winter, but when temperatures drop to the low twenties, it can exhibit signs of tip frost. 
The Silver Torch cactus is most susceptible to 
mealybugs 
and spider mite.
Algal bloom
Blooms may be observed in freshwater aquariums when fish are overfed and excess nutrients are not absorbed by plants. These are generally harmful for fish, and the situation can be corrected by changing the water in the tank and then reducing the amount of food given.
