🐉 Trichocereus bridgesii “Bruce’s Dragon” 🐉
32cm From Base – Whole plant pictured.
This is probably the most famous new guy on the market and should be on any collectors list of aquisitions.
This particular plant (as a cut) cost me £200, I have taken the bottom 3 inches to propogate and I have decided to let the main plant go. He has been rooting for most of the season so he should be well on his way to be fully established.
His growth fomation is as random as you get, very notchy with random spines forming when he chooses to, just wild :-).
I do not know what it is about this particular clone, but, he is just lovely.
If you have any questions around substrate or anything, please use the contact form and I will be happy to help with any questions.
Origin and Habitat
Not specific to Bruce’s Dragon, Trichocereus bridgesii, also known as Echinopsis lageniforms hails mainly out of the Bolivian mountains but grows pretty much throughout Bolivia (Tarija, Santa Cruz, Chochabamba, LA PAZ, & Chuquisaca).
Trichocereus bridgesii has been renamed to Echinopsis lageniformis by Friedrich and Rowley during their 1974 merger of the genus Echinopsis. The name Echinopsis bridgesii was already taken by a clumping Echinopsis species from Bolivia, which is a totally different plant and should not be confused with Trichocereus bridgesii.
UK Growing
In the UK, Bridgesii’s 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 10 years of growth, so, patience is required. Bridgesii 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. If you are stuck for what to use as a substrate, we have a very handy guide here. As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch, I will help you with any questions you might have.
We have a trichocereus care sheet which you can reference.
