Thread: Trichocereus pachanoi

  1. #1

    Default Trichocereus pachanoi

    Here is my little T. pachanoi that I picked up at Home Depot a little while back. San Pedro is the fastes growing cacti reaching upwards of 18inches a year. It's just my little house plant basically. I don't give it any special treatment just let it chill in front of the window so not ecatly the best grower you have ever seen. In full sun that lighter green that you see should turn a very dark coloration. I just wanted to toss up a quick pic for those that did not know what it looked like. Peace

    You know what guys. I was actually looking around at some stuff and came to the realization that what I am showing is not Trichocereus. I think it a Cereus. Sorry it's been a few years out of practice. LOL
    I am going to go buy a real T. Pachanoi to show you all the difference and point out some common mis identification. THe differences should have been obviouse to me, but I have'nt grown Trichocereus in probably 8 years, so common mistake. Peace

    here is a pic of Myrtillocactus geometrizans, not my pic but borrowed it off of another web site. Tere are lots of pics of Trichocereus pacahnoi on the internet. THe reason I am saying what you are showing is not pachanoi is because along the ridge there are dips between the arelos. Pachanoi doesn't have those little dips. Also the arelos are positioned slightly upward with pachanoi and generally the top is slightly more narrow than the stock below, kinda egg shaped if you will. Now I looked at more pics of Mrtillocactus and your spines don't match. How many spines does yours have per aelo?
