🌵 Silva x TBMA (Clone A – Long Form) 🌵
A pachanoi × monstrose bridgesii hybrid with strong growth and the potential for unusual, unpredictable form.
Overview
A cross between Trichocereus pachanoi ‘Silva’ and Trichocereus bridgesii monstrose ‘TBMA’ (Clone A – Long Form), combining reliable growth with the genetic potential for irregular, monstrose expression.
This hybrid produces columnar plants with pachanoi influence, while carrying the possibility of developing atypical or mutated growth patterns from the TBMA lineage.
Each plant is seed-grown and will show variation, with some individuals remaining more typical and others potentially expressing unique traits.
Genetics & Parentage
Trichocereus pachanoi ‘Silva’
A pachanoi-type clone known for steady growth, strong structure, and ease of cultivation.
Trichocereus bridgesii monstrose ‘TBMA’ (Clone A – Long Form)
A well-known monstrose bridgesii clone valued for its irregular, unpredictable growth and collector appeal. This cross combines pachanoi stability and vigour with the genetic potential for unusual and varied forms.
Note: Expression of monstrose traits from TBMA in seed-grown hybrids can vary and is not guaranteed.
What to Expect
- Growth rate: Moderate to fast
- Mature form: Columnar, with potential for irregular growth
- Colour: Bright green
- Spines: Moderate, variable
- Difficulty: Easy
Grower Notes
Performs well in UK greenhouse conditions and responds well to feeding and warmth.
Most plants will grow in a typical columnar form initially, with the potential for variation appearing as they mature.
Why This One Stands Out
- TBMA genetics in seed-grown form, TBMA crosses are uncommon due to the rare flowering events.
- Potential for unique or monstrose expressions
- Reliable pachanoi-driven growth
- High variation across individuals
- Strong collector appeal

Steps For Rooting
Once the cut is received, place it around 1/2 inch to 1 inch in a pot of substrate. I use wooden kebab skewers to hold up the piece. Water lightly and you should start getting new root growth within a few weeks to a few months depending on conditions.
An alternative way would be to stick them in perlite and wait for them to root, once roots form you can re-pot.
