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.

Bruce’s Dragon Information

Bruce’s Dragon is a highly desired Bridgesii cultivar within the Trichocereus community. This is due to its funky mutations that give it a distinct and unique appearance.It is considered to be a Monstrose Bridgesii- Monstrose is a mutation that can affect many cacti species. It causes the cactus ribs to grow in irregular, bumpy, and wavy ways. In many cases, the growth can make it look like the cactus is melting. The bumps and irregular growths are completely random so the current growth does not indicate what any of the new growth will look like.

The interesting thing about Bruce’s Dragon is that it often goes completely spineless, not even producing areoles. It can still throw out random areoles and spines, and when it does, the spines are a bright golden color. This Bridgesii is most definitely considered as a “show piece” and is guaranteed to be one of the most unique pieces in your garden!
