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.

Medicine Man Information

Medicine Man is a bright green and colorful Bridgesii clone. It produces very thick, bright yellow spines that make it glow in the sunlight. This clone is originally from Southern California and from there many cuttings were spread throughout the state and subsequently throughout the world as it gained popularity. It’s a highly valued clone because it’s fast growing, gorgeous to look at, and it has high shamanic ceremonial value. All of these reasons also make it a very popular clone to use in Trichocereus breeding programs.

Big Bertha Information

Bertha is a highly coveted cultivar of Bridgesii. It is also one of the rarer ones to come by. It’s also referred to as “Big Bertha” because this cultivar can grow extremely thick, especially for Bolivian Torches, which as a species tend to grow more slender compared to San Pedro. Bertha is definitely a cultivar that you will want to have growing in your Trichocereus garden!
