Trichocereus pachanoi "San Pedro" Unrooted Cuttings

One of the most ancient magical plants of South America, this sacred cactus has a long history of use dating back to the pre-Columbian populations who lived among the high northern Andean mountain valleys. We see evidence of its use detailed in weavings and ceramic pottery among the Chavin, Nazca, Moché, Chimu and Inca. A Chavin stone carving circa 1300-400 b.c. depicts a figure holding this species. To this day it is the centerpiece of a magico-religious healing group from the Huancabamba valley, Peru who employ it as an ally during curing ceremonies.

The San Pedro grows mainly among the high, cold desert valleys of the Andes mountains and is a marvelously resilient plant. It grows amazingly fast, easily producing 12"-18" of new growth per year. It is very forgiving and rewarding for even beginner cultivators. The blooms are exquisite! These cacti emanate a protective spirit making them fine guardians for the home and sacred garden. Each specimen is at least 10" to 12" in height and approximately 3" in diameter. A cultivation guide is included with your order.

Please note: Due to the semi-wild field conditions in which our T. pachanoi are grown, there may be some marking on the cactus, which is absolutely natural and will not affect the health of the cactus - only add to its character.

These specimens are shipped via ground service only. If you choose another shipping option, we will automatically downgrade to UPS Ground.
