San Pedro Information

Trichocereus pachanoi or commonly known as “San Pedro” is the fastest growing species of columnar cacti and also produces the largest flowers in the cacti world. Their natural habitat is the higher elevations of South America, specifically in Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, as well as Bolivia. Because of their native habitat, they’re not considered “desert” cacti as they typically deal with damp soils, high elevations, and cooler temperatures

TPC Information

TPC stands for Trichocereus Pachanoi “Crested”. The crested or “cristata” mutation within the Monstrose cultivars causes amazing brain-like formations that make these cacti look so unique. Although they are much slower growing than your typical San Pedro they are a must have for any collector because of their distinctive look and genetic rarity. 

Peruvian Torch Information 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 its cousins Pachanoi, Bridgesii, and Scopulicola, Peruvianus produce large white, night-blooming flowers that have a lovely fragrance. 

KT-Ogun Information

Although KT-Ogun has a similar name to Ogun (Ogunbodede) these are indeed VERY different Trichocereus cultivars. In fact, they are different species. Ogun is a Pachanoi sourced by Sacred Succulents and KT-Ogun is a Peruvianus that was originally sourced from Keeper Trout (Trout’s Notes), but is now mainly sourced from Misplant via seeds. However, Ogun and KT-Ogun are both originally from the same area in Peru. KT-Ogun grows a very gorgeous blue color, even when exposed to full sun. They tend to have shorter spines than the average Peruvianus.

This Specific Cactus
