 Botanical name: Trichocereus peruvianus
Better known as: Peruvian Torch
Family name: Cactaceae
Natural habitat: Andes-gebergte (Peru, Ecuador)
Another beautiful member of the Trichocereus family, also known as the Peruvian Torch. This cactus has been used as religious sacrament by only a few Indian tribes in northern Peru. It’s probably the most powerful and magical specie from the whole Trichocereus family. The spines from this cactus are brown, but they turn gray when they get older. |
This cactus is a fast and easy grower and can be easily grown from seed. It tolerates a lot if it comes to its ideal growing circumstances. This makes this cactus perfect for the beginning cultivator. Under normal circumstances it will grow about 30 centimeter each year. In the summer it needs a lot of sun. A few hours of direct sunlight and the rest of the day indirect sunlight is the optimal sun exposure. When the roots have fully it needs only a little bit of water. Standard cactus soil can be used very well for this specie.
