Trichocereus peruviana, aka Peruvian Torch is a fast growing columnar cactus native to the western slopes of the Andres, Peru. Sometimes referred to as “Peruvian Fence post” :-).
There are a few different variations of peruviana as you can get long-spined, short-spined etc. which would largely be governed by locality and environment.

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.
