San Pedro Cutting Monstrosus 25 - 35 cm

The San Pedro Cutting Monstrosus 25–35 cm is a distinctive growth form of the San Pedro cactus. In this monstrous form, the ribs and stem grow irregularly, causing the cactus to develop an erratic shape that clearly differs from the standard San Pedro. The cutting can be used to grow your own cactus. Each cutting may vary in shape and appearance.

What is San Pedro Monstrosus?

Echinopsis pachanoi, also known as Trichocereus pachanoi, is a columnar cactus native to the Andes region of South America. The Monstrosus is distinguished by the unusual development of its stem and ribs, which results in its characteristic monstrous growth. Like other forms of Echinopsis pachanoi, this cactus may naturally contain the alkaloid mescaline.

Care

Allow the cut end of the cutting to dry out and harden completely before planting it in the soil. If the cut end is already completely dry and hard on delivery, the cutting can be planted in well-draining cactus compost. Plant the cutting a few centimetres deep and ensure it is firmly upright.

Keep the soil dry during the initial phase whilst the cutting develops roots. Place it in a light and warm spot and allow it to gradually acclimatise to strong direct sunlight. Once roots have formed, you can carefully start watering. Then always allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again.
