Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical name: Trichocereus schickendantzii (syn. Echinopsis schickendantzii)
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack
Plant type: Perennial, succulent. Columnar/tufted cactus that forms clusters over time.
Crop cycle: Active growth in spring-summer, dormant period in winter.
Plant height: It can reach about 30-60 cm in height, with single stems 5-8 cm in diameter.
Uses: Ideal for rock gardens, succulent beds, potted cultivation on terraces and balconies, botanical collections and as an ornamental specimen for well-lit interiors.
Organoleptic/Morphological Aspects: Characterized by bright green stems with well-defined ribs and robust thorns ranging from yellow to brown. It produces large, pure white, funnel-shaped flowers that open mainly in the evening or at night, often releasing a delicate scent.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to arid regions of South America (Argentina). Extremely drought-resistant and relatively cold-tolerant if kept dry (down to about -5°C for short periods), but requires protection from prolonged frost.
Sowing period: Recommended in spring (March to May) or early summer, when temperatures are constant and mild.
Harvest/Observation Period: Flowering typically occurs in late spring or summer, once the plant has reached maturity.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a constant temperature between 20°C and 30°C. High humidity in the early stages (cover the container) and indirect light.
Soil type: A very well-draining substrate, specific for cacti and succulents, composed of coarse sand, pumice, lapilli and a minimal amount of organic soil is essential.
Recommended exposure: Full sun for most of the day. In regions with scorching summers, light shading during the hottest afternoon hours can prevent sunburn.
Germination times: Variable, generally 1 to 4 weeks, but may extend depending on environmental conditions.
Pot or ground cultivation: Excellent for growing in pots, allowing the plant to be moved seasonally. In mild climates and suitable soil, it can also be grown successfully in the ground.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO (Non-Genetically Modified) seeds with a guaranteed high germination percentage, to ensure successful cultivation and healthy plants from the start.
