Cactus of the Four Winds (Echinopsis lageniformis forma quadricostata)
The Cactus of the Four Winds (Echinopsis lageniformis forma quadricostata), Bolivian torch, is an extremely rare four-ribbed cactus that can be found in the mountains of Bolivia. Considered as sacred by the natives of Bolivia who call it Achuma or Wachuma, this cactus is said to have even more powerful properties than the San Pedro or the Peruvian torch. We have several sizes of cuttings in stock.
Cactus of the Four Winds (Echinopsis lageniformis forma quadricostata)
The sacred four-ribbed Cactus of the Four Winds that the natives call Achuma or Wachuma, like the four-leafed clovers, is considered extremely rare. The cactus is said to have special curative powers that are expressed in the four ribs that stand for the “four winds” or “four roads”, representing the cosmic axis linking the different worlds through which the Shaman travels in vision and trance.
It is believed that the sacred Cactus of the Four Winds was possibly the major source of religious impulse in ancient culture throughout the Andes region. Legend says that whoever found the sacred, four-ribbed cactus is a great shaman or would be destined to become one.
MESCALINE
Several cactus varieties can possibly grow as the very rare and desirable Cactus of the Four Winds with the characteristic four ribs, including the San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis Pachanoi) or the Peruvian torch (Echinopsis peruviana). Our Cactus of the Four Winds, Echinopsis lageniformis forma quadricostata is the Bolivian Torch variety of the cactus, said to be the most potent of the sacred cacti with the highest percentage of mescaline.
CULTIVATING THE CACTUS OF THE FOUR WINDS
The cuttings we offer are from exceptionally healthy and strong cacti which makes it easy to cultivate them at home. Cultivation of The Cactus of the Four Winds is essentially the same as with our Bolivian Torch cactus. All you need to know is that you should use special cactus soil that you can get in any well-sorted gardening store. Keep in mind that cacti are desert plants, which means that you water them very sparingly. Just let the cactus absorb enough for its needs. The best way to do this is when you plant them in a well-draining pot that you set in a shallow tray that you only occasionally fill with some water at the bottom. Have the soil absorb just enough water so its saturated, this will stimulate root growth of the cactus. In the colder season, the cactus can easily go with 2-3 weeks between waterings while you may need to water on a weekly basis in the hot months of summer.
When you get your Cactus of the Four Winds cuttings, the first thing that you should do is put it in a shady spot for about four weeks so that the cactus can grow its roots and can get accustomed to its new environment. There is no need to water in the first 2-3 weeks.

Wonderful cactus, I ordered twins but those twins were unexpectedly dizygotic..
Let me start of positive by saying that this is one magnificent cactus, and I appreciate it very much that Zamnesia sells them, as they're surely very hard to find in other smartshops (if you can find them at all).
I only bought this one once, got really excited when they were available again, and didn't hesitate to order 2 at once before they'd run out. Just for the record: in every way I fully understand that these products are natural organisms, and they are by no means supposed to look as though they've been produced by artificial cloning. However, the ones I got took their diversity to very high extremes; one of them was all wrinkled like a senior, and appeared rather ill with grey marks on all sides (the thorns were strikingly thicker and much longer than the 2nd one as well). This while the 2nd one looked extremely full, green, & healthy.
As they are relatively high-priced, I found this degree of discrepancy a bit disappointing, and feel sad that I can't include pictures in the review. Matter of fact, I'm even not too sure if they are both the same type of cactus, but as luck would have it, I have zero objections against testing this hypothesis some time soon :D.
One general con for all Zamnesia cacti, except the thorn-less Peyote and the Bolivian Monstrose, is that they come wrapped in some thin paper only (I'm pretty sure the employees must be having a harder time with it than we do). It's quite a hassle to get them out of the paper as the paper keeps the thorns hidden (they can even penetrate my thick-skinned oven gloves). Most smartshops roll them in thicker cardboard, which also adds convenience if you cut the upper half of the cardboard off, and leave the lower half as a safe grip. This enables you to take your plant with you to any room, so you can bond with it without any complications :D.
Leuk plantje

Queste piante mi stanno davvero aiutando, mi faciltano la comprensione dei miei problemi e mi rendono entusiasta della esperienza sublime del viaggio,... Affetto per Zammi
Très bien
Superbe moment
Helemaal goed
Deze dame vorig jaar gekocht en geplant. Nu heeft ze wortels gekregen aan en staat ze meest buiten in de zon. Helemaal goed, zou ik zeker weer doen. Hopelijk dit jaar meer exotische soorten =) Thanks Zamensia!!
Zierlicher Kaktus
Sehr abstraktes Aussehen und schon ganze 12cm hoch als er ankam. Ich hoffe die Bewurzelung klappt. Bin mit ihm sowie mit den anderen Stecklingen von Zamnesia sehr zufrieden.
Another Great product from Zami!
This is another great product from the good people at Zamnesia! Its relatively slow growing, but it is a beautiful plant nonetheless. A Great addition to my collection!
BESTE QUALITÄT
Wunderschöner Kaktus Steckling, alle Erwartungen mehr als erfüllt...
Magical
I ordered three little ones, ate the middle big one (not much to say about visuals, but now, afterwards i feel like i met an old teacher) and planted the other two, one of em was a bit smaller but wider and the other taller and thinner. Both of them rooted and I'm waiting for spring to re pot them to see how big I can get them.
Erstklassig
Der kaktus war zwar sehr zierlich aber hat sehr schnell wurzeln gebildet
