Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical name: Trichocereus macrogonus (syn. Echinopsis macrogona).
Seed quantity: 10 seeds, carefully packaged.
Plant type: Perennial succulent cactus. Characterized by a multi-year growing cycle and exceptional longevity.
Plant height: In optimal conditions, it can reach considerable heights, from 2 to 4 metres, developing an imposing columnar stem.
Uses: Ideal as a visually striking ornamental plant, excellent for botanical collections and for inclusion in desert or rocky landscapes in appropriate climates.
Organoleptic characteristics: It has a blue-green columnar stem, characterized by numerous, clearly defined vertical ribs and robust thorns that vary in length and color. It produces spectacular, intensely scented, nocturnal flowers, usually white or cream in color, that bloom for a single night.
Hardiness and Origin: A remarkably drought-resistant species. Origin: Mountainous regions of South America, particularly Bolivia and Peru.
Sowing time: The ideal time is spring or early summer, when temperatures remain constant and warm, favoring germination.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a constant temperature between 20°C and 30°C, a slightly moist but exceptionally well-drained substrate and exposure to indirect but bright light.
Soil type: A specific substrate for cacti and succulents with excellent drainage is essential. A mix of mostly inert materials (such as pumice, perlite, coarse sand) and a small amount of potting soil is recommended. The ideal pH is neutral or slightly acidic.
Recommended location: Young seedlings benefit from a bright location, protected from the strongest direct sunlight. Mature plants thrive in full light and tolerate direct sunlight for most of the day.
Germination times: Times can vary greatly, from 7 days to several weeks (typically 2-6 weeks), depending on environmental conditions and sowing method.
Pot or ground cultivation: Excellent for growing in pots, which allows the plant to be sheltered during the colder months. Growing in the ground is only suitable for hot, arid climates with extremely well-draining soil.
Quality Specifications: Our premium seeds are certified Non-GMO, guaranteeing a pure genetic line. High germination is a distinctive feature of this select variety, optimized for your growing success.
