Trichocereus cordobensis (Scopulicola) 100 seeds

Trichocereus cordobensis (Scopulicola) 100 seeds

Trichocereus cordobensis is an extremely interesting plant that probably belongs into the range of the species Trichocereus scopulicola. This species is very rare in nature and there only were a few collections of it. When Friedrich Ritter discovered the species Trichocereus scopulicola, he labeled his collection FR991 and almost all Scops on the market go back to that one collection in the 50s. Now back to Trichocereus cordobensis. It is not an accepted name and there is not a description for it. The city Cordoba is in Argentina, which is far way from Bolivia where Trichocereus scopulicola is endemic. It probably came from an institution called NMCR, which distributed seeds and cacti in the past 20 years. They are the source of many interesting plants, including one very spiny type of Scop that was not identical with Ritter´s original FR991. And that is probably the original source of this plant.

Those seeds here are from an open pollinated fruit on one of those „spiny scops“. The father were probably the Australian hybrid Rosei or a Trichocereus bridgesii that was flowering at the same time. The seeds are extremely clean and viable. Up until now, I did not offer this type in quantities over 30 seeds and this is the first time I have it in stock. There only are a few hundred seeds left and I do not believe I will get fresh ones again. Get it as long as they are there. This is the first time in ages that this plant is available for sale and I am super happy I can offer it. The whole plant is definitely a Scop and I verified this by checking out the flower. It is not just a fat Pachanoi or just a weird plant.

Trichocereus peruvianus RIO LURIN

Trichocereus peruvianus RIO LURIN  

This amazing Trichocereus type comes from the Rio Lurin/Lurin Valley near Lima. The area is full of interesting Trichocereus species and judging by what we grew so far, it is closer to Trichocereus peruvianus than it is to Trichocereus cuzcoensis. But I am still waiting for the grafts to get a little bigger.

Trichocereus tulhuayacensis Buy Bulk 100 Seeds

100 Seeds – 9.00 Euro

This product is the same as the other Trichocereus tulhuayacensis products. Just in 100s quantity with a better price to make sure you get more seedlings! Trichocereus tulhuayacensis only grows on one site in Huachac. The location is close to the one of KK338 Trichocereus peruvianus and the whole plant is somewhere between Trichocereus cuzcoensis and Trichocereus peruvianus.

This is KK337 Trichocereus tulhuayacensis and the seeds are nursery produced and not from nature. KK337 comes in two different types. One with a white flower and one with a red one. I am not sure which one it is, so I am offering this explicitely as the white flowering variety to make sure there are no bad surprises when they flower. It´s an amazingly rare species and I am extremely happy to have it in the shop. The seeds are ultra viable and I nearly had a 100 percent germination rate in my germination tests. When buying those seeds, you buy a great quality for a great price. I had no problems with rot or fungal infections and the seeds are super clean.

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.

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

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.
