Silva x Cajamarca – Trichocereus pachanoi x TPM – Seedlings

Overview

Silva x Cajamarca brings a pachanoi parent together with Cajamarca TPM. The photographed plant shows the combination of columnar structure and irregular growth that makes these crosses interesting: upright sections sit alongside rounded swellings, displaced rib lines and crowded, knobbly growing tips.

Genetics & Parentage

Silva is recorded here as a pachanoi parent, based on the information available with the plant. Reliable background information is limited, so we are not assigning it an unverified origin, breeder or relationship to another clone.

Cajamarca is the TPM parent in this cross, with TPM referring to Trichocereus pachanoi monstrose. The unusual growth visible in the photographs describes the specimen offered, rather than a guaranteed shape for all offspring from these parents.

What to Expect

Monstrose expression can change over time. New sections may remain irregular, become more conventional, or develop a different arrangement of ribs and swellings. These seedlings each have their own genetic identity.

Grower Notes

Provide bright light, good airflow and a free-draining cactus substrate. Introduce stronger sunlight gradually and allow the growing medium to dry appropriately between waterings. Reduce watering during cool, inactive periods and protect from frost and prolonged winter damp.

Pay attention to airflow around crowded growth and avoid leaving water sitting between tightly packed sections.
