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.

SS02 Information

SS02 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.
