Tr. pachanoi Pup – San Pedro

Origin and Habitat

Mountains of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and northern Argentina. It is sub spontaneous in several South American and in some tropical countries in other continents.
Altitude: It grows between 1500 and 3300 metres above sea level.

Habitat

Trichocereus (Echinopsis) pachanoi has a wide distribution and stable population. It grows naturally in the high altitude dry shrublands and high rainfall areas of the Andes. It can withstand temperatures far below that of many other cacti.

UK Growing

In the UK, Pachanois 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.

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.
