 TRICHOCEREUS PERUVIANUS - MATUCANA, PERU
= ECHINOPSIS PERUVIANA
= PERUVIAN TORCH CACTUS
= TRICHOCEREUS PERUVIANUS FORMA AZUREUS
Grey-blue to light blue columnar cactus with strong long thick spines.
Thick cutting with a diameter of 5 - 6 centimetres.
This Peruvian Torch Cactus form originates from the region around the city of Matucana in Peru.
This region is known for its high quality mind-expanding San Pedro Cacti, which are extremely strong.
Features include strong heavy thick thorns and a distinctive light-blue colour of the epidermis.
This is probably the strongest spined Trichocereus peruvianus.
See the book: Trout - Trout's Notes on San Pedro & related Trichocereus species (pages 177 and 178).
The Mescaline content is probably even higher than in the San Pedro Cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi) !
Each areole (= thorn cushion) has beige-brown felt (wool) on the top.
And also a distinct V-shaped groove above the areole.
Rooting
Thick cutting for self-rooting and cultivation.
After 4-6 weeks, the cutting makes new roots, which continue to grow and branch out in the cactus soil.
The rooted cutting grows about 10 centimetres in length in the first year.
From the second year, a well-rooted cutting in a spacious pot grows about 30 cm or more per year.
Trichocereus peruvianus Cacti can flower from about 30 cm in length, provided they get enough sun!
Thick, strong green to blue-green cuttings from large plants.
These cuttings have a thicker green chlorenchyme layer than sown plants.
This layer of tissue under the epidermis contains relatively the most Mescaline.
Cuttings can be rooted in our special San Pedro Cactus soil !
