Some Additional Info
Trichocereus (except for bridgesii / Bolivian Torch) are very hardy and weather tolerant. Trichocereus pachanoi can handle temps as low as -9c for very short periods.
Native to South America, the earliest evidence of San Pedro was found in Peru, specifically, the Guitarrero cave of the Callejón de Huaylas valley. They are natively found in the Andes Mountains at altitude levels around 2000m – 3000m. San Pedro (the class of Trichocereus) is also found in regions like Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela.
Trichocereus pachanoi are night bloomers with these gorgeous flowers doing their thing at night, you have to be quick or you will miss the event :-). A flower event is a special event as it can take anywhere from 5 years to 8 years for an adult plant to produce a flower. When they do, you do your happy dance, thank the cactus Gods, snap a million pics, harvest the pollen, and wait for the next event.

Trying to expand my collection of cacti and wanted a head start with Pachanoi to keep up with my Peruvianus so these cuttings were a beautiful buy and very well priced.
I noticed they were already starting to show new roots and the KK339 was the exact type of light green I wanted with the Nadir being the darker one. Highly recommended site and Byron is very accommodating, I remember he even gave me extra seedlings a while back which a friend is now growing and seeing massive growth with the UK heatwaves. I think it's a great hobby to have!
