CLONE TWO - (Trichocereus / Echinopsis) clone

CLONE TWO - (Trichocereus / Echinopsis) clone 

CLONE TWO is another cool clone that was sourced by the European breeder Aplantis. It looks very much like CLONE ONE and depending on the conditions it is grown in, it might really hard to keep the two apart. CLONE TWO comes from Huaraz, which is the home of many beautiful Pachanoi clones, such as the so-called Trichocereus Huarazensis. The plant was located in front of a Restaurant and when the owner wanted to remove it, Ogun jumped on the opportunity to get some cuts for the grower Community. Aplantis called it „a little bit more feminine“ than CLONE ONE. This one ist not as bright green as CLONE ONE and has a slight touch of gray. The areoles are more hairy than the ones on CLONE 1 and has very strong V-notches above the areoles. The offshoots usually have 6 – 7 ribs and tend to have a green/blue or glaucous color. The plants I´ve seen were a little bit fatter than the ones from CLONE ONE, but that also depends on the environment and it´ll take a few years to say more about the growth habits of this beautiful plant.

Ogun: CLONE ONE (Trichocereus pachanoi)

This beautiful Pachanoi is/was distributed by the SAB member Ogun. It has a beautiful bright green epidermis and short stump spines. The plant comes from Cajabamba in Peru and one of its charasteristics is the bright green color. Most of the colums we saw had 6 – 7 ribs, but it´s very possible that new pups differ from that. CLONE ONE looks very healthy and vigorous. If you look very closely, you can see some very fine grains on the epidermis and the shield-shaped areoles are covered with a brown fluff. The clone also has some very strong V-notches, making it a very typical Tr. pachanoi. In a way, it also resembles the Ecuadorian Pachanois.

Flower: Unfortunately, we weren´t able to observe the flower yet but I´ll keep you updated in case I´ll come across a flowering plant for the database.

Where to buy seeds or cuttings: I´ll probably try to get cuttings as soon as they are available. The clone is fairly new in cultivation, which is why it will take 3-5 years until some of them are flowering. I´ll keep you guys updated in case I get anything.
