Trichocereus tulhuayacensis Bulk Seeds 1.000 Seeds

Trichocereus tulhuayacensis always was the holy grail of all the Trichocereus species. It only grows at one location in Huachac, and was totally unavailable in the past years. Sacred Succulents has a plant in stock, but as an international customer it was not possible for me to import it. This year was the first year that I was able to buy seeds of this extremely rare species.

So far, there is only little i can tell you about it, other than that I bought it KK337 Trichocereus tulhuayacensis. The species usually has a pink flower, but there also are white flowering plants at the original site in Huachac and right now I do not know which one of the two possibilities it is. We are currently making some seedling grafts to verify the ID and as soon as we have our first results we will share them here with you. Right now, I can´t guarantee that those will have a pink flower and I offer them as white flowering just to be sure.

The quality of the seeds is ultra-high quality. My germination tests were amazing and I almost had 90-100% germinate rate. It honestly couldnt be any better. The seeds were very well cleaned and I had absolutely no issues with rot or fungus.

Those seeds were not taken from nature. They are nursery produced by a breeder who originally got his plants from Knize, who offered KK337 as KK337 var. rubriflorus and KK337 var. albiflora. The plants that were shown to me definitely fit the description of this species.

Trichocereus peruvianus Intermediate

Trichocereus peruvianus Intermediate 

This amazingly cool Pachanoi / Peruvianus intermediate is one of my most favorite strains. It´s a totally amazing plant. It comes really close to the spiny plants from Chavin de Huantar. The plants start off very spiny, but lose their spines at an older age. The skin is usually very blue, what makes this one of the most interesting Tricho strains that I know oft. 

Read about our Trichocereus peruvianus database page with all the necessary info on this beautiful species. We do not sell any seeds though. 

Trichocereus Crowdfunding Success!!

Trichocereus Crowdfunding Success!!

Hi guys, it´s been one month since I started the crowdfunding campaign for my book TRICHOCEREUS: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP and it´s been a wild success! Though there is still one month to go, the campaign already reached more than 80% on Indiegogo…and I wanted to thank you all for that! I draw my hat to everyone who bought a book, donated or shared the link in his Facebook profile. Thank you all for making the past month one of the best months in my life!

With that said, the campaign has not officially reached the goal of 10.000 Euro yet, so please check out our campaign on Indiegogo and buy a copy of this extremely limited book! Also feel free to share our link with your friends!

TRICHOCEREUS: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP: https://igg.me/at/2h2Jsr6XawQ/x/13533390

There is also a hardcover Connoisseur edition that is made using the thread stitching technique to make sure your book looks amazing. But don´t get me wrong; the standard edition of my book has a great quality as well. I made sure of that and the whole book will be FULL COLOR. I actually wanted to stop at 300 pages because the costs are substantial, but I just want to make the best book possible and now you will get a book that has 350 – 400 pages!

Let me just give you some info on the content. The whole book is NOT a cheap attempt to grab some money, but a really professional collection of original descriptions and photos showing rare Trichocereus species in their natural habitats. Almost all photos show adult plants in nature, including extremely detailed flower pics and comparisons.

It contains all the rare species that were originally described and fills that up with detailed information about the situation and the climate in the habitats and shows how to tell those rare species apart.

There are never before seen photos from all kinds of South America Field Trips, including photos of Trichocereus santaensis, Trichocereus knuthianus, Trichocereus schoenii, Trichocereus bridgesii, Trichocereus cuzcoensis  and so many more.

There are separate chapters of historic sites like Chavin De Huantar, the Isla Del Sol, Cusco and many other places that are known for their breathtaking Trichocereus populations. It also has separate chapters about the San Pedro cactus in Bolivia, Chile and its original type locality in Ecuador.

So long story short, this book is serious business and a good read! It´s about nothing but botanic and taxonomic facts and does NOT contain anything about borderline legal stuff like cactus ingestion and stuff like that. I want you to know that this is not a book that you need to hide on your bookshelf.

TRICHOCEREUS: THE SAN PEDRO GROUP is available exclusively through this campaign and is only available in a very limited crowdfunding edition. This is NOT a risky crowdfunding campaign and this book WILL BE PUBLISHED. Don´t miss out on it, because you will absolutely love this book and regret it if you don´t get yourself a copy. There only are about 400 books available through the campaign and almost half of them are already sold out! This campaign goes into its final month and I guess you could call it a mid season Finale. I know that it´s not exactly cheap, but all the money goes directly into the quality of the printing and is not made to grab some cash.

So yeah, get it while you still can! Let´s get this baby printed!

Neoraimondia roseiflora (Lima, Peru) -Buy Seeds

Neoraimondia roseiflora (Lima, Peru) -Buy Seeds

30 seeds – 3.00 Euro

The genus NEORAIMONDIA was described by Britton & Rose in 1920. They are endemic to Bolivia and Peru and this is one of the nicest Neoraimdonia species that we know. Neoraimdonia roseiflora is pinkish flowers and always was a species that was the source for debates between collectors like Friedrich Ritter or Curt Backeberg. The species is extremely variable and the overall appearance and the rib count differs greatly depending on the location.

The species name Neoraimondia roseiflora was described by Backeberg and Rauh and the plant is really close to Neoraimondia arequipensis. This is a really rare plant and I am very happy that i can offer it here in my shop.

Those Neoraimdonia roseiflora seeds are fresh, highly viable and tested. The seeds are nursery produced from Lima and were not stolen from nature.

If you want to buy seeds of other cacti or Neoraimondia species, feel free to send me a message.

CITES: Neoraimdonia roseiflora is CITES 2, what means it is legal to import seeds into most countries. But make sure to check your regional import laws to be on the safe side.

Armatocereus matucanensis – Buy Seeds

15s – 3.00 Euro

Armatocereus matucanensis is a columnar cactus from the Peruvian city Matucana. It is extremely rare in European collections and I am extremely happy that I can offer you some VERY viable seeds with almost 100% viability rate! Armatocereus seeds are larger than most other cactus seeds.

Those seeds are nursery produced seeds from Lima and the quality is excellent. The genus Armatocereus is endemic in Venezuela, Columbia and Peru and is known for the segregated growth that constantly terminates and pups again. It´s a well known trait that all Armatocereus species have in common and those plants are a lot of fun. Armatocereus is also a great grafting stock, similar to plants from Trichocereus or Cereus genera.

If you are interested in buying other Armatocereus species seeds, write me an email and I´ll send you the newest stock updates.

CITES & Import Questions: Those seeds are CITES 2 and it should be not a problem to import them into most countries unless there are certain import restrictions. Plants from the genus Armatocereus cannot be imported into Australia because they are prohibited as a weed.

SS01 (Trichocereus peruvianus)

SS01 (Trichocereus peruvianus)

The SS01 clone was brought into cultivation by Sacred Succulents. It is one of their oldest clones, going back many years and the number of hybrids that involves it is really high. It actually is a very blue Trichocereus that would usually be called Tr. peruvianus or Tr. macrogonus outside the SS nursery. The origin of this plant is unknown, but because of Sacred Succulent´s constant work with this clone, it is widely distributed.

Here is an excerpt from the Sacred Succulents description of SS01:

SS01 (Trichocereus peruvianus or Trichocereus macrogonus)

Columnar cactus up to 8´+ tall. Fat blue-green stems up to 6″ in diameter and 2″+ spines. Huge white nocturnal flowers. Can grow very fast; up to several feet a year. Tends to grow prostrate with age. We believe this to be a clone of either Trichocereus macrogonus or Trichocereus peruvianus. Cold hardy to 25° Fahrenheit. 

My personal impression of this plant is that it is one of the plants that were originally sold by Karel Knize. Those were really common at the time this clone showed up and I would not be surprised if it was one of them.

Sacred Succulents used this clone to create many hybrids, such as SS01 x Tr. pachanoi, SS01 x BBG, SS01 x Tom Juul´s Giant, SS01 x SS02 and many more. If you want to buy some seeds or cuttings of Trichocereus SS01, check out the Sacred Succulents website.

Those photos show the SS01 clone and are not hybrids. I will have a huge number of SS01 hybrid pics in my upcoming book SAN PEDRO HYBRIDS, which will be out in 2017.

SS02 (Trichocereus bridgesii)

SS02 (Trichocereus bridgesii) 

SS02 stands for a certain clone brought into cultivation by Ben Kamm & his nursery Sacred Succulents. It is a relatively short-spined Trichocereus bridgesii that is known to produce some mind-boggling offspring. Most of the hybrids produced with this plants do not look like a standard Bridgesii and due to the fact that Sacred Succulents has been offering them for years, there is a huge number of different SS02 Hybrids available.

Here is an excerpt of Sacred Succulent´s description of their SS02:

Dense candelabra stands to 16´tall. Blue/green frosted stems up to 5″ in diameter with 5 – 7 ribs. Each areole bears 2 – 4 central spines up to 1.5″ long. White nocturnal flowers. The new growth on old stemps is often spineless. A distinct form of Trichocereus bridgesii. Cold hardy to 25° Fahrenheit. 

The Pictures of the SS02 clone were provided from Nitrogen!

 

And here are some hybrids that were created with the SS02 clone! If you want to some cuttings or seeds of the SS02, check out the Sacred Succulents website and ask for their seed list. There will be more SS02 hybrids to be seen in my upcoming book SAN PEDRO HYBRIDS.

Sacred Succulents used the SS02 to produce an endless list of great hybrids. Some of those are:

SS02 x SS01, SS02 x Trichocereus pachanoi, SS02 x Huancabamba, SS02 x BBG, SS02 x Luther Burbank, and many more. Apart from Sacred Succulents, the SS02 is used bymany other breeders, such as Misplant, Cactusaffinity.com and many more.
