Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical name: Trichocereus undulosus (syn. Echinopsis undulosa)
Seed quantity: 10 seeds, carefully selected for freshness and vitality.
Plant type: Perennial succulent belonging to the Cactaceae family. It has a long growing cycle, growing slowly but steadily.
Plant height: In optimal conditions, in natural habitat or in open ground in favorable climates, it can reach considerable heights, typically between 1 and 3 meters, developing robust, branched stems.
Uses: Mainly as an ornamental plant for rock gardens, succulent collections, xeriscaping and as a single specimen in large pots.
Organoleptic characteristics: Characterized by bluish-green stems with well-defined, wavy ribs that give it a sculptural appearance. The areoles are equipped with robust spines, ranging in color from yellow to brown. Flowering, usually nocturnal, produces large, white or cream-colored flowers of rare beauty.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the mountainous regions of South America (Andes), it is naturally drought-resistant and tolerates high summer temperatures well. It requires protection from prolonged frost and temperatures below 5°C.
Sowing period: Ideal in late spring or early summer, when temperatures are constant and warmer, favoring optimal germination.
Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a specific cactus substrate, very well-drained and sterilized, kept constantly moist (but not wet) until germination. Ideal temperatures are between 20°C and 30°C. A transparent cover is recommended to maintain humidity.
Soil type: An extremely draining substrate, specific for cacti and succulents, composed of a good percentage of inert materials such as pumice, perlite or coarse sand, with a neutral or slightly acidic pH is essential.
Recommended exposure: Newly germinated seedlings require bright, indirect light. Mature plants thrive in full sun, if acclimated gradually, or in bright partial shade to protect them from summer sunburn during the hottest hours of the day.
Germination time: Varies, generally 1 to 4 weeks, but some seeds may take longer to germinate. Patience is key.
Pot or ground cultivation: Perfect for growing in pots, allowing the plant to be moved in case of frost. In warm, frost-free climates, it can be successfully grown in the ground, where it can reach larger sizes.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO seeds, selected from robust and healthy mother plants to ensure varietal purity and high germination, key elements for the success of your growing project.
