Trichocereus pachanoi ‘Zhuracapamba’ aka ‘Shuracpamba’

Ok, so this is a White Whale. There are so many things awesome about this gorgeous pachanoi. As the years go buy, the plant will start showing wavy marking which are weather related. It really makes for a unique looking plant.

The clone was released and distributed by Chavin Herbalist and was gifted to him during his trip to the Andes..

I realise the chunky price, but, I paid £200 for the same size cut last season.

Pure Tr pachanoi genetics.
Please see listing for images, condition & size.
Super rare genetics.

History

“Shuracpamba mother plant in Ecuador Zhuracpamba – a legendary pachanoi – 2012 expedition to Wild Andes Ecuador” Huan Shuma

This beautiful plant from southern Ecuador is absolutely stunning, a deep blue and short spined in shade, notchy, but with different expressions in different environments. Mine has shown some beautiful patterns, especially when waking up after winter. It’s not been too fussy or challenging to grow.

Thanks to Huan Shuma for the motherplant photos and bringng the genetics to the community..

Synonyms

Echinopsis pachanoi
San Pedro Cactus
Wachuma

Some Additional Info

Trichocereus (except for bridgesii / Bolivian Torch) are very hardy and weather tolerant. Trichocereus pachanoi can handle temps as low as -9c for very short periods.

Native to South America, the earliest evidence of San Pedro was found in Peru, specifically, the Guitarrero cave of the Callejón de Huaylas valley. They are natively found in the Andes Mountains at altitude levels around 2000m – 3000m. San Pedro (the class of Trichocereus) is also found in regions like Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.

Trichocereus pachanoi are night bloomers with these gorgeous flowers doing their thing at night, you have to be quick or you will miss the event :-). A flower event is a special event as it can take anywhere from 5 years to 8 years for an adult plant to produce a flower. When they do, you do your happy dance, thank the cactus Gods, snap a million pics, harvest the pollen, and wait for the next event.

Steps For Rooting

Once the cut is received, place it around 1/2 inch to 1 inch in a pot of substrate. I use wooden kebab skewers to hold up the piece. Water lightly and you should start getting new root growth within a few weeks to a few months depending on conditions.

An alternative way would be to stick them in perlite and wait for them to root, once roots form you can re-pot.

All plants sold are strictly for garden / ornamental purposes. We are here to cultivate these beautiful plants and spread them as far as we can, nothing outside of growing (all things related to growing) will be tollerated.
