San Pedro (Echinopsis pachanoi): Previously known as 'Trichocereus pachanoi'
The San Pedro cactus (Echinopsis pachanoi) originates in the mountains of Peru and Ecuador where this mescaline cactus grows at an altitude of 2000-3000 meter. Nowadays this cactus can be found in other parts of the Andes, such as the Argentinean and Bolivian mountains. The San Pedro is a rapidly growing cactus: under the right circumstances, this cactus can grow up to 30 to 40 cm a year.
Cultivating the San Pedro cactus
Our cuttings of the San Pedro are exclusively derived from healthy and attractive cacti. These cuttings facilitate the home cultivation of your own San Pedro cactus. The cutting only needs to be placed in the ground after which the cutting will soon shoot roots and continue to grow, like it had never been out of the ground in the first place. Use special cactus soil and not the standard soil for indoor plants. This soil often contains an incorrect ratio of nutrients needed for cacti.
Water the cactus once a week in autumn and spring and only once every 2-3 weeks in winter. In summer you may water the cactus 3-5 times a week. The best method is to water the cactus from the bottom, so it is better to put the cactus in a pot with a punctured base. Place the pot in a shallow dish with water en the cactus will absorb what it needs. This method is preferred over watering the cactus with a spout from above.
Place the San Pedro cutting in the shade for the first month, allowing the cactus to adjust to its new surroundings and create a new root system. You will not need to water the cutting for the first 2-3 weeks.
Name change: From Trichocereus to Echinopsis
The Latin name for the San Pedro cactus has always been 'Trichocereus pachanoi', but recently a new classification for the cactus species was put in place. Now the San Pedro is subordinate to the much larger cacti family Echinopsis. The current and correct name for the San Pedro is therefore ‘Echinopsis pachanoi'. The name change has not yet caught on with the masses and the cactus is still commonly referred to as 'Trichocereus pachanoi'. It will probably take quite some time before people speak of the 'Echinopsis pachanoi'.

Ai commandé trois variétés, il aurait été utile de les noter/ étiqueter, mais la reconnaissance n'est pas trop ardue... encore que c'est mon boulot.
Envoi rapide, modérément discret mais puisque ça a passé la douane, tout va bien.
Emballé... moué, mais pas de dégâts, donc ça devait suffire, j'ai bien ri en voyant que seul le lageniformis était en papier-bulle, c'est plus facile à manipuler comme ça hein ^ ^ Mais vous pouvez faire pareil en papier-journal, laisser respirer c'est bien ;)
Tout ceci dit, eh ben c'est une bonne note. Mis en culture/collection dès réception, en terrarium.
A l'air top
