Peruvian Torch Information

Trichocereus peruvianus, otherwise known as Peruvian Torch Cactus, is a fast growing columnar cactus that is one of San Pedro’s cousins. It is native to the high elevations of Peru, specifically in the Andes mountains. Their skin can range from dark green to a beautiful blue hue. They are prized for their gorgeous long, yellow spines. They can also achieve great thickness, which is another reason why Peruvian Torches are highly sought after in the cactus community. In similar fashion to its cousins Pachanoi, Bridgesii, and Scopulicola, Peruvianus produce large white, night-blooming flowers that have a lovely fragrance. 

Serra Blue Information

Serra Blue is a highly prized cultivar of T. Peruvianus. It is known for its incredible blue color, which makes it a show stopping cactus.

Bridgesii Information

Trichocereus bridgesii (syn. Echinopsis lagenformis) or commonly known as “Bolivian Torch” is a fast growing species of columnar cacti that originates in Bolivia. Their natural habitat is drier and more desert-like compared to San Pedro, meaning the Bolivian Torch does not need as much water as their San Pedro cousins but will still grow almost as quickly.  Bridgesii are highly sought after by ornamental cactus collectors around the world. They are coveted for their beautiful green/blue skin and bright yellow/golden spines, as well as their huge, white flowers.

SS02 Information

S02 is an extremely popular Bridgesii cultivar that came from the Sacred Succulents nursery (The SS in SS02 = Sacred Succulents). A noticeable characteristic of SS02 is that it typically has shorter spines than your average Bridgesii. SS02 is commonly used to create hybrids due to its consistent growth patterns, its beauty, and the fact that it is a fast grower.
