(Juuls x peru) x Tr. scopulicola ‘Gaig’

UK Growing

In the UK, Trichocereus are quite popular due to their hardiness and can handle our low temp during winter (around 5C before bringing inside, although, adults can go lower). Flowers produce after around 8 to 10 years of growth, so, patience is required. Trichocereus differ in terms of humidity requirements, they do not tolerate high humidity very well and can form rot if left in high humidity for long periods.

All our cacti are shipped bare root to protect the cacti, please ensure you have suitable substrate and a pot for your new dude.
