Peruvian Torch Cactus - Huancabamba , Peru - 5+ cm - PLANTS (Small). Live plant with short spines of strong form from Huancabamba (northern Peru). Article code: CATRPEH-P05
TRICHOCEREUS PERUVIANUS - HUANCABAMBA, PERU
= PERUVIAN TORCH CACTUS
Green to grey-blue columnar cactus with long central spines
This San Pedro Cactus form comes from the Huancabamba region of Peru.
This region is known for its high quality San Pedro Cacti.
The Mescaline content is probably even higher than in Trichocereus pachanoi !
This Huancabamba form has shorter and thinner spines than the common Peruvian Torch Cactus.
As a young cutting, this form resembles a short-spined San Pedro Cactus.
Only later do longer spines of about six centimetres in length or more develop.
Each areole (= thorn cushion) has beige-brown felt (wool) on the top.
And also a V-shaped groove above the areole.
Description
Small size inexpensive rooted Cactus plant in a pot
This Peruvian Torch Cactus grows about 10 centimetres in length in the first year.
From the second year, this Cactus 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 !
This rooted Cactus in a pot comes from a thick, strong, green to blue-green cutting of a large Cacti.
These cuttings have a thicker green chlorenchyme layer than sown plants.
This tissue layer located below the epidermis contains relatively the most Mescaline.
See the book: Trout - Trout's Notes on San Pedro & related Trichocereus species (page 167).
