Bridgesii Seedlings 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 the San Pedro but will still grow almost as quickly.  Bolivian torches are also 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.

Eileen Information

Eileen is a Bridgesii cultivar that comes from Australia. It’s a popular clone to trade within Trichocereus forum which is how it is now grown by cactus gardeners all over the world. Short yellow spines, typically 2 per areole are characteristic of Eileen. However, it is known to not flower frequently which means these genetics are hard to come by, especially in the form of seed grown plants. In fact, it is considered as the rarest Australian Bridgesii cultivar. 

SS02 Information

SS02 is an extremely popular Bridgesii cultivar that came from the Sacred Succulents nursery. A noticeable characteristic of SS02 is that it typically has shorter spines than your average Bridgesii.
