MORE DISCRIPTION ON THE SAN PEDRO (ECHINOPSIS PACHANOI)

When compared to some other holy cacti, the echinopsis pachanoi including the Monstrose variety is very easy to grow. Coming from the altitudes of the mountain ranges of the Andes, echinopsis pachanoi can tolerate cold temperatures quite well. This cactus grows best if you keep it out of direct sunlight, so finding a shaded spot in your garden out of direct sun can be optimal.

Make sure that you plant the cactus in fertile, free-draining soil. Standard cactus soil that you can get from any well-sorted garden centre will do well for this variety. Once the cactus has grown its roots, it will require very little water. Make sure you don’t overwater since echinopsis pachanoi is somewhat susceptible to fungal diseases although this variety is not as sensitive to fungus as some other cacti.

Each cutting is 25-30cm long.
