Bridgesii Information

Trichocereus bridgesii 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.

Helen Information

Helen is a very well known Bridgesii cultivar throughout the Trichocereus community. Its skin typically has a dark green color and very distinct V-notches above the areole. The spines are long, but as it grows taller they may get shorter or it may even go bald (no spines on the areole). The spines are bright yellow, tipped with a dark red to black. The beautifully colored spines are the perfect compliment to the dark green skin, giving nice contrast. Helen is one of those classic cultivars that should be in every Trichocereus collector’s garden.

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 it’s cousins Pachanoi, Bridgesii, and Scopulicola, Pervianus product large white, night-blooming flowers that have a lovely fragrance.

Riverland Peru Information

Riverland Peru is a lineage of Peruvian Torch (T. Peruvianus) that is highly sought after in the Trichocereus community. The seeds were originally imported directly from Peru and are prized for their robust growth, stunning blue-green skin, as well as prominent areoles and spines. They grow extremely thick and show off beautiful colors.
